Common Heavy Haul Routes in Nebraska
Nebraska’s central location and vast highway network make it a critical freight corridor for nationwide heavy haul transport.
Key routes include I-80, US-30, US-275, US-81, and I-680, connecting Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Kearney, and North Platte with surrounding states.
At American Heavy Haul, we use Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) data and advanced mapping tools to design legal, efficient routes for every oversize and overweight shipment.
Our planners avoid low bridges, restricted zones, and weight-limited county roads — ensuring your heavy equipment moves safely and on schedule.
Whether your load moves from the Missouri River corridor in Omaha to western Nebraska oilfields, or from Lincoln industrial parks to Iowa, Kansas, or Colorado, our dispatch team coordinates all permits, escorts, and compliance details for a smooth, on-time journey.

Omaha & Council Bluffs corridor: Industrial parks and intermodal terminals.

We also serve major rail terminals and grain distribution centers, ensuring smooth coordination between rail, highway, and job-site deliveries across the Great Plains.

Route Planning & Load Tracking Technology
American Heavy Haul leverages advanced GPS systems, NDOT mapping, and live compliance monitoring to plan and track every shipment in real time.
Our logistics engineers evaluate bridge limits, gradients, turning radii, and construction zones before every move.
Once in transit, you’ll receive live tracking access, route progress notifications, and 24/7 communication from our dispatch center.
