The specialized freight trucking industry in the United States is a significant economic force, worth over $125 billion annually. This robust sector is experiencing steady growth, driven primarily by nationwide infrastructure projects and the increasing demand for renewable energy transport.
Scale is a defining characteristic of this industry, with more than 10 million oversize/overweight permits issued annually across the country. These permits primarily facilitate the transport of construction equipment, generators, turbines, and agricultural machinery.
Most heavy hauls involve substantial loads weighing between 40,000 to 120,000 pounds and spanning up to 20 feet wide, highlighting the specialized expertise required for safe and efficient transport.
California stands out among the top three states for oversize transport demand, a position attributed to its bustling ports, extensive agricultural operations, and thriving technology manufacturing centers.
Coastal states like California face additional complexity due to environmental protection zones along transport routes, with approximately 15% of heavy hauls involving marine-related industries.
Customer expectations in this specialized industry are clear and demanding. A recent industry survey revealed that 92% of heavy equipment buyers consider on-time delivery and damage-free transport their top priorities.

Our coverage extends to major districts such as Canon City Commerce District and East Canon City in Canon City, and the industrial areas of Canon City Transport Terminal and Uptown Canon City.
Our transport fleet regularly utilizes Canon City's main thoroughfares including I-95 and US-25. For oversized loads, we plan specialized routes using Colorado Freeway and carefully navigate through Veterans Beltway to ensure safe, efficient delivery.
