Heavy haulers is the current buzzword across the industry, however, there is a clear distinction between heavy haul and over-dimensional shipping services. Heavy haul trailers are comprised of axle configurations supporting cargo that could easily go over one hundred thousand pounds. These loads are moved with either using a fully customized trailer or by adding jeeps and boosters to a trailer as needed to support the weight.
When referring to and supplying an over-dimensional freight rate these loads exceed one or more of the standard legal-size dimensions for any state that the transport is passing through. Usual guidelines are fifty-three feet long, eight and a half feet wide by thirteen and a half feet tall east of the Mississippi River. Western states and Canada allow fourteen feet.

Heavy Haul Transporting considers itself as a high valued over-dimensional freight services company as opposed to a strictly heavy haul trucking company. We regularly ship cargo that is extremely over wide, over tall, and overlong. In many cases, these oversized loads are overweight as well. Over dimensional shipping services at Heavy Haul Transporting moves cargo that exceeds any of these oversize and overweight definitions adhering to all permitting regulations. A new category labeled Super Status refers to cargo that exceeds sixteen feet in height.
A pilot car is dispatched to do a preliminary run well before the actual load is moved to confirm that all portions of the planned route are passable. Some states such as Florida, because of its lower infrastructure clearances; define these Super Status loads to anything over fifteen feet. All over-dimensional freight services as regulated must demand that all state regulations in the route are carefully studied to make sure the permitting and the highly experienced and strictly required driving and pilot teams are used.
Detailed route surveys take into consideration all foreseen obstacles for any of these oversized shipments. Disruption of traffic flow state by state will determine if you can move at night or over the weekend. Peak rush hours and city limits define whether movements happen during the daylight hours or after hours.
