Transporting oilfield materials like drill pipe, casing, tubing, and sucker rods requires specialized freight handling, flatbed/oversize logistics know-how, and deep experience with piping freight. Nickels Brokerage provides nationwide transport solutions for oil pipe, casing, tubing, and sucker rods, serving both the oil & gas industry and the agriculture / ranching markets.

Sucker rods — commonly repurposed as fence posts, braces, corner assemblies, and livestock enclosure components — are increasingly popular among farmers and ranchers due to their durability, long lifespan, and cost effectiveness.

Whether you're shipping a truckload of rods from a supply yard, moving pipe for a fencing project across your ranch, or transporting oilfield materials for industrial use, we have the specialized flatbed and heavy-haul expertise to move your load safely and efficiently.

We handle shipments of all types: single lengths of pipe or rod, bundled loads, oversized tubing racks, and bulk oilfield components — regardless of weight, length, or delivery complexity. With our nationwide network and specialized flatbed and heavy-haul partners, we’re ready to support oil industry logistics from pickup to final delivery.

How Our Oil Pipe & Sucker Rod Transport Process Works

We follow a meticulous step-by-step process to ensure the successful delivery of your shipment.

Provide Freight Details

Share pipe or rod specifications: length, diameter, bundle size, weight, number of pieces, and pickup/delivery locations (yard, well site, port, etc.). Photos and bundling specs are especially helpful.

Freight Evaluation & Trailer Matching

We determine whether standard flatbed, extendable, multi-axle, or heavy-haul trailer is appropriate; evaluate loading and securement needs.

Permits & Routing Planning (if needed)

For over-length or over-weight loads, we handle permits, route surveys, escort or pilot-car arrangements, and comply with all state/federal regulations.

Carrier Assignment & Load Securement

We match your freight with vetted carriers experienced in pipe or heavy-haul loads; secure the load using appropriate tie-downs, blocking, and protective measures.

Pickup, Transport & Monitoring

The load is picked up, secured, and tracked; during transit, carriers monitor securement, adjust tie-downs if needed, and follow the planned route.

Delivery & Off-load Coordination

We coordinate delivery at final destination — whether a yard, port, rig site, or remote drilling location — and assist with unloading logistics (crane/forklift as needed).

⚠️ Special Considerations When Shipping Sucker Rods for Ag/Fencing Projects

Every detail matters

Shipping sucker rods or oil pipe for ranch or agricultural use involves its own set of considerations. Nickels Brokerage has been doing this for a very long time and knows the ins-and-outs.

Bundling & Load Security
Sucker rods are long, narrow, and often shipped in bulk bundles. They must be:
→ Properly banded
→ Loaded in balanced stacks
→ Secured with chain/strap systems that prevent shifting
Mixed Load Requirements
Fencing projects often require:
→ Mixed sizes (¾", ⅞", 1")
→ Rods in varying lengths
→ Pipe sections for H-braces or gate frames
→ Delivery sequencing for multi-day fence builds
Delivery to Rural Farms & Ranches
Agricultural sites often include:
→ Narrow farm roads
→ Soft ground or pasture access
→ Low-hanging trees
→ Livestock gates and fencing

We evaluate delivery access carefully to ensure safe entry and unloading.
Repurposed / Used Pipe
We frequently transport used pipe and sucker rods being repurposed for agricultural fencing. These materials may require special loading or protective measures depending on condition or surface rust.

FAQs: Oil Pipe & Sucker Rod Transport

Managing the logistics of shipping oil pipe and sucker rods - from the weight and size of their materials to coordinating appropriate timing due to local terrain - is complex. You need a trusted broker who has years of experience to ensure everything is handled accurately and professionally.

Can Nickels Brokerage ship pipe or sucker rods out-of-state (interstate)?
Yes — we ship oil pipe and sucker rods nationwide, across multiple states and regions.
What trailer types are used for long pipe or tubing loads?
Depending on load length and weight: extendable flatbeds, multi-axle trailers, or heavy-haul lowboys. For extremely long or oversize bundles, we arrange oversize-load equipment and permits.
Do you manage oversize or over-length permits and escort requirements?
Yes. Whenever loads exceed standard legal limits, we obtain the required permits, handle routing, and coordinate escort/pilot vehicles if needed.
How do you ensure pipe or rod bundles remain secure during transit?
Our vetted carriers use best-practice securement: rated chains/straps, blocking/bracing, corner protectors, frequent securement checks, and balanced loading to prevent shifting under load.
Can you deliver directly to remote well sites or rigs, even with rough road access?
Yes. We assess site access during routing planning, evaluate road/ground conditions, and coordinate with operators or site personnel to ensure safe delivery and unloading.
Do you accept single pipe loads as well as bulk shipments or racks?
Absolutely. We handle single bundles, small shipments, and large rack shipments — for one-time moves or recurring supply cycles.
