Before the move
How we plan a Nebraska load
Every Nebraska move starts with a permit from the Nebraska Department of Transportation. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the Nebraska rules, then sets the escorts and travel windows the permit calls for.
At 16'H or higher, we file the written route survey before the permit is issued, and a pole car leads the load.
Over 160,000 lbs gross, the load is a superload, reviewed by the Lincoln Permit Office. Our 22 axle setups carry loads up to 300,000 lbs.
