Heavy Haul Trucking in Detail
When the dimensions or weight of a shipment exceed the capacity of a standard flatbed trailer, heavy haul trucking is the only solution.
Heavy haul trucking, often referred to as superload, oversize, overweight, or over-dimensional transport, is as follows:
In the U.S., a superload involves a truck tractor with an attached trailer carrying an over-dimensional or overweight load that surpasses the ordinary permit limits typically associated with oversize or overweight loads. The size and weight of a superload are subject to regulation by the state in which the load is transported, with variations between states. An oversize load (including the tractor and trailer) may exceed the standard legal dimensions of 13'6" in height and 8'6" in width (with length regulations varying by state). The load must be non-reducible, meaning it cannot be adjusted to meet legal dimensions. An overweight load involves a single unit that, when shipped, exceeds the total legal gross weight limit of 80,000 pounds for the truck, trailer, and the unit being shipped.
Heavy Haul Equipment
Heavy haul transportation may necessitate specialized equipment capable of accommodating the extraordinary size and weight of the cargo. This equipment includes double drops, extendable trailers, removable goosenecks (RGN), stretch trailers with various axle configurations, ranging from 5 to 20 axles.
Legal Requirements for Oversize, Overweight, and Superloads
Navigating the legal intricacies, permits, and technical challenges related to heavy haul loads is vital for the successful transportation of oversize cargo. Several states require certain oversize loads to be escorted by certified Pilot/Escort Vehicle Operators (P/EVO) to ensure the safety of both the motoring public and the cargo. P/EVOs are responsible for safely guiding superloads from their origin to their final destination without causing any harm to the load, motorists, highways, roads, bridges, control devices, signs, wires, overhanging objects, or property.
At Georgia Forwarder , we handle the entire process of transporting your superload shipment, from securing special state and county permits to arranging pilot cars or escort vehicles and any additional equipment necessary for the secure transport of heavy haul cargo. We coordinate the logistics for even the most challenging shipments your company may require, ensuring safe, timely, and cost-competitive delivery.
