Dallas heavy haul
North Texas loads, planned before they roll
Dallas sits where Interstate 35E, Interstate 30, Interstate 20 and Interstate 45 meet, so a lot of heavy equipment crosses it on the way somewhere else. Every Dallas move we take starts with the TxDMV permit and route, then the escorts and any utility work the height calls for.
