Heavy haul trucking requires individual truckers or trucking companies to use special permits provided by the state, city, county, or other municipality you are scheduled to travel through. A certified heavy haul provider should know about Oversize permit requirements, legal standards, escort requirements, and any other relevant legal codes.
Please Note: Heavy haul trucking is not the same as flatbed hauling. Heavy haul trucking requires an expert who will ensure a safe and secure delivery of the load.
When a shipment exceeds the legal dimensions set by the state in which the load is shipping, it is considered a heavy haul load. Here are some of the key dimensions that might classify a load as oversize:
For all of the above standards, the load being hauled must be non-reducible. This means that a shipment must be hauled in its smallest form. Only if its smallest form exceeds the legal limits will a load require heavy haul permits.
