Our History
Established in 1905, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. ("C.H. Robinson") is one of the largest third party logistics (3PL) providers in the world. We provide transportation and logistics services globally, along with value-added services and complete supply chain management.
For more than 20 years, we've managed all types of flatbed freight, and are now one of the largest flatbed 3PLs in North America. We added to our flatbed capabilities in 2006 with the acquisition of Payne Lynch & Associates, a flatbed 3PL provider that specialized in flatbed, over dimensional, and overweight freight.
Today, all of our flatbed resources are dedicated to helping customers transport flatbed loads smoothly across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.

Over Dimensional & Overweight Flatbed Certification
Over dimensional and overweight loads require much more knowledge than basic flats. Managing them isn't for the uninitiated. Only employees who have booked 150 flatbed loads are eligible to take C.H. Robinson's Over Dimensional Certification test. Only after they pass this test can they move your over dimensional load. This certification marks a level of expertise that few others in the industry can match.
