Reliable Heavy Load Hauling Services

Heavy load hauling is governed by federal DOT and FMCSA rules, plus state and local requirements for oversize and overweight freight. Common requirements include axle weight limits, permits, escort vehicles, route restrictions, bridge clearances, hours-of-service compliance, cargo securement standards, and special documentation. HAZMAT freight may require additional placarding, driver certification, and route controls.

Heavy haul pricing is based on load dimensions, weight, distance, trailer type, route complexity, permit requirements, escort needs, pickup and delivery access, and timing. Loads requiring multi-axle RGN equipment, crane coordination, restricted routes, or expedited movement typically require more planning. Accurate dimensions and weight help produce a more reliable quote.

Timelines depend on the freight size, route, state permit turnaround, escort requirements, and equipment availability. Standard oversized moves may be coordinated quickly, while super loads or multi-state overweight shipments often require more lead time for route surveys and approvals. Sims Global Solutions helps align planning with your project or production schedule.

Heavy loads may move on RGN lowboys, multi-axle trailers, double drops, flatbeds, step decks, or other specialized open-deck equipment. The right trailer depends on load height, weight distribution, ground clearance, loading method, and legal limits. Sims Global Solutions also supports crane and rigging coordination when lifting or placement is required.

Cargo is secured using load-appropriate chains, binders, straps, blocking, bracing, and securement procedures designed to prevent shifting or damage. Proper securement is reviewed alongside route planning, trailer selection, and regulatory requirements. Real-time tracking through SimsTrak also gives shippers visibility into shipment progress from dispatch through delivery.

Before quoting, gather the commodity description, exact dimensions, weight, origin and destination addresses, loading and unloading requirements, preferred timing, and any site restrictions. Photos, drawings, or equipment specifications are especially helpful for machinery, modular buildings, or unusual freight. This information helps determine trailer type, permits, escorts, and routing needs.
