Specialized Freight Trucking

Establishments in the Specialized Freight Trucking industry (NAICS code 4842) primarily engage in the transportation of goods that require specialized equipment for delivery. This includes the movement of items such as heavy machinery, oversized loads, or goods that need temperature control, using equipment like flatbeds, tankers, or refrigerated trailers. The industry is distinguished from general freight trucking by its focus on transporting freight that necessitates unique handling, equipment, or conditions, rather than standard cargo.
