Oversize & Super Load Transportation Services

Moving an oversize or super load requires more than just horsepower—it takes planning, permits, precision, and experience. We specialize in transporting oversize and super loads throughout the United States, ensuring your freight is moved safely, legally, and on time.

What is an Oversize or Super Load?

A load is considered “oversize” when it exceeds the legal dimensions set by state or federal guidelines. These limits typically include:

  • Width: Over 8 ft 6 in (102 inches)
  • Height: Over 13 ft 6 in
  • Length: Over 53 ft (single trailer)
  • Weight: Over 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight

A super load goes beyond oversize regulations, usually requiring detailed route planning, state approval, specialized equipment, and multiple escort vehicles due to extreme dimensions or weight.

Key Features of Our Oversize Load Services:

  • Specialized trailers: RGN, Lowboy, Beam, Stretch, Multi-axle, and more.
  • Permit management: We handle all state and DOT permits required for your route.
  • Route surveys: Detailed mapping to avoid restricted bridges, overpasses, and tight turns.
  • Escort/pilot cars: Provided when required by law to ensure public and driver safety.
  • Traffic coordination: Assistance with law enforcement escorts or traffic control when necessary.
  • Experienced drivers: Trained professionals with a track record of moving complex freight.

Examples of Oversize & Super Loads:

  • Construction and mining machinery (excavators, cranes, bulldozers)

  • Transformers and generators
  • Large tanks or silos
  • Aircraft components
  • Prefabricated buildings and modular homes

Why Oversize Transport Requires Experts:

Oversize freight isn’t just about size—it’s about risk, regulation, and responsibility. From planning safe routes and securing the right permits, to ensuring equipment compatibility and managing logistical timing, every part of the process must be executed with precision.


Failure to comply with oversize rules can result in fines, delays, damage, or legal consequences—which is why it’s crucial to work with a logistics partner who knows the terrain.

Legal & Logistical Considerations:

  • State-specific rules: Each state has unique size limits and permit requirements.
  • Escort vehicle rules: Many loads require front/rear escort vehicles—sometimes police escorts.
  • Travel restrictions: ASome routes limit oversize travel to daylight hours or weekdays.
  • Insurance requirements: Oversize and super loads often require higher-value cargo insurance.
