Fort Worth heavy haul

Timed around Tarrant County

Every oversize load in Tarrant County has to stop for two rush hour windows each weekday, so a Fort Worth move lives or dies on its schedule. We plan the departure, the route and the escorts around that curfew, and around the Weatherford rules for loads heading west on Interstate 20.
