Heavy Haul Carriers
Heavy haul carriers transport loads that are too big or too heavy for standard trailers: construction equipment, industrial machinery, transformers, oilfield equipment and modular structures. These moves often need lowboys, step decks, extendable trailers, permits and sometimes escort vehicles.
Before booking, share exact dimensions and weight. A good heavy haul carrier will tell you which trailer fits, which states need oversize permits, and whether escorts or route surveys are required. Ask who handles permits, how loading and securement work, and what insurance limits apply to your cargo value.
Compare carriers by distance from the pickup, fleet size and how current their FMCSA filing is. Searching near your pickup helps you avoid long deadhead charges.
