Superloads, lower 48 states and Canada
Superload Transport
Loads up to 300,000 lbs on 22 axle Faymonville setups, plus RGNs from 8 axle 55 ton to 19 axle 150 ton. Permits, routing, escorts and utility bucket trucks handled by our own team.
Superload vs oversize load
When oversize is not enough
Every superload is an oversize load, but not every oversize load is a superload. Each state sets its own cutoff by weight and size, and a load past it needs its own permit, a route review, and often escorts and utility crews. That is the work we are built for, in the lower 48 states and Canada, with bonded and non bonded shipments across the Canadian border.
How we move a superload
Four steps, one team
Permitting, routing, escorts, utility bucket trucks, maintenance and drivers are in house. Load plans are engineered with industry engineering partners and trailer manufacturers.
Permits and routing
Our in house team handles the permits and routing for every state and province on the route, and every route is reviewed turn by turn with the driver before the move.
Engineered load plan
Load plans are engineered with industry engineering partners and trailer manufacturers, then matched to the right setup from our fleet.
Escorts and utility
Our own escort vehicles and utility bucket trucks run with the load, lifting lines and clearing the way. Police escorted moves too, like our 207,000 lb dryer drum.
Delivery
Samsara GPS and a dash cam on every truck, with a live share link on request, so your site team knows where the load is until it is set down.
Equipment setups
Matched to the load
22 axle Faymonville
Our heaviest setups, for superloads beyond the RGN range.
13 axle steerable dolly
For tall, heavy loads and enclosures that need a long well and a steerable dolly.
Jeeps and boosters
Multi axle jeeps and boosters add axles to meet state axle weight limits.
Perimeter and well trailers
Carry transformers and enclosures low to clear bridges and wires. Proven with a 150,000 lb generator on a 60 ft well.
