What is a Conestoga Trailer?

Conestoga Trailers feature removable rear doors and wire frame to allow for easy loading and unloading of the trailer deck. The purpose of a Conestoga Trailer is to have versatility in shipping freight. 

The beauty of this trailer type is it combines two helpful applications depending on your load: the ability to be used as a flatbed trailer while providing coverage through an adjustable tarp. This feature turns a flatbed trailer into a dry haven for large cargo that still needs to be protected from the elements.
