When you work in an industry that needs to move oversized or heavy materials you have to find a shipping company that does heavy haul trucking that you can trust. At Great Western Transportation, we offer heavy haul shipping all throughout the U.S. and Canada and we have been serving clients with their heavy haul shipping needs for decades. If you have questions about heavy haul shipping, here are some common questions and answers.
What can I do when my shipment is too wide, too tall, or too heavy for a flatbed trailer?
This is something we see all the time at Great Western Transportation and we are equipped to transport your shipment regardless. Our truck trailers can be equipped with an oversized trailer permitted to carry a heavy and/or oversized load.
How do I know if I have an oversized load?
An oversized load, including the tractor and trailer, is a load that exceeds the standard legal dimensions of 13′ 6″ in height and 8′ 6″ in width. The length of an oversized load varies from state to state. If a load can be reduced below these dimensions it does not qualify as an oversized load.
Does my oversized load need special permitting?
The permitting varies from state to state, but we are used to hauling heavy haul loads and we can help you navigate the permitting process at Great Western Transportation.
Who can I trust with my heavy haul load?
At Great Western Transportation, we have shipped it all. Between our employees, we have over 100 years of shipping experience and we will haul your load with confidence and expertise. For more information, contact us today.
