Common Heavy Haul Routes in Mississippi

At American Heavy Haul, our route planners use advanced mapping and MDOT-approved data to design legal, efficient paths for every oversize and overweight load. We carefully avoid bridge limits, height restrictions, and urban curfews to ensure safe and on-time delivery.
Whether your shipment moves through the Port of Gulfport, along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, or across northern industrial corridors, we coordinate with MDOT and local escorts to guarantee fully compliant, smooth, and timely transport operations statewide.
Mississippi Ports, Terminals & Industrial Zones
Our network covers Mississippi’s major logistics hubs, including the Port of Gulfport, Port of Pascagoula, and regional industrial parks. American Heavy Haul regularly transports construction machinery, turbines, transformers, and energy components across these corridors.
We specialize in connecting construction, manufacturing, and energy sectors through efficient coordination between Gulf Coast ports and inland job sites. Every shipment benefits from expert handling, timely communication, and full compliance with MDOT and DOT standards.
Trailer Types for Mississippi Heavy Haul Transport
Each shipment requires the right trailer for safety and compliance. Our fleet includes flatbeds, step decks, RGNs, double drops, and extendable trailers — capable of handling almost any machinery or structure.
Specialized trailers include:
Flatbed Trailers: Perfect for construction materials, crated freight, and light machinery.
Step Deck Trailers: For tall loads exceeding standard height limits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers: Ideal for excavators, bulldozers, and wheeled equipment loaded from ground level.
Double Drop & Extendable Trailers: Used for turbines, beams, and superloads.
Hot Shot Trailers: Flexible and fast for urgent, smaller deliveries.
All trailers are DOT-certified, meticulously maintained, and equipped with secure tie-downs, ramps, and load supports. Our logistics specialists match the perfect trailer to your equipment’s size, weight, and route requirements.
Route Planning & Load Tracking Technology
American Heavy Haul uses advanced GPS, DOT databases, and MDOT mapping to plan and monitor every shipment in real time.
Our route engineers calculate bridge weights, turning radii, restricted travel zones, and road gradients to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.
Clients receive real-time tracking updates, route notifications, and 24/7 communication with our dispatch team. This transparent system reduces downtime, detours, or compliance issues, making us one of Mississippi’s most reliable heavy haul trucking companies.
