San Antonio heavy haul

Height is the first question in San Antonio

In the San Antonio District, a tall load sets off a chain of notices before it can move: emails to TxDOT, signal contractors and, west into the Hill Country, utility calls and extra escorts. We run that paperwork in house along with the permit, the route and our own escorts and bucket trucks.
