Austin heavy haul
Central Texas loads on a tight clock
Austin keeps oversize loads off its roads at both weekday rush hours, and Interstate 35 through the middle of town has a low height limit. Those two facts decide most Austin routes. We plan the timing, the permit and the route in house, then move the load with our own escorts.
