About shipping oversize loads

Wideload Shipping or the mega moving of oversize & heavy haul equipment loads are shipments that are over the legal dimension(s) or weight(s) restrictions that the government has established for traveling on local, state and federal roads and highways.  These shipments require special permits of various different types depending on the actual size and weight of the object being shipped. These shipments typically cannot fit into a conventional industrial trailer such as a van or refer so they are classified as over dimensional or mega moving loads. Oversize loads are loads that are over-width, over-length, over-weight or over-height or any combination of and must be transported in accordance with all Federal, State, City and County laws which requires special permits before that actual shipment can take place.

At times extra cautions are required for mega moving. This may involve pilot car escorts vehicles, high pole cars, police escorts and even utility companies removing power lines and traffic lights, permits, and routing that ensures the over size shipment is delivered safely and on time.

Heavy haul or mega moving & trucking - This type of shipment is classified as any shipment that combined with the truck weight is over 80,000 lbs. gross.  Anything over this weight is considered a heavy haul shipment and the trucking company that is moving it must obtain heavy haul permits from each state it travels thru and sometimes each county and state. Routing must be figured as heavy haul shipments are not allowed to travel on every road as they could damage the road if it was not constructed to handle this kind of weight. Heavy haul trucking shipments also require multiple axles in order to equally distribute all of the weight in order to keep from damaging the roads.
