Common Heavy Haul Routes in Arizona
Arizona’s major freight routes — I-10, I-40, I-17, US-60, and SR-85 — connect Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, and Flagstaff, forming the state’s vital logistics network. These corridors support the transport of construction machinery, mining equipment, and industrial freight across the Southwest.
At American Heavy Haul, our logistics engineers use ADOT-approved data, advanced GPS mapping, and route simulations to plan legal, efficient heavy haul paths across the desert terrain.
We avoid restricted bridges, steep grades, and urban curfews while coordinating all oversize and overweight load permits for smooth and safe deliveries statewide.
Whether moving equipment to a solar farm near Yuma, a mining site in Globe, or a construction project in Phoenix, we manage permits, escorts, and routing to ensure complete compliance with ADOT and DOT regulations.
Arizona Ports, Terminals & Industrial Zones
Our operations cover Arizona’s key logistics and freight hubs, including Phoenix Sky Harbor Cargo Terminal, Tucson Industrial Corridor, and Yuma’s border logistics routes.
We regularly transport heavy machinery, turbines, and industrial components between Arizona’s major highways and neighboring states.
From construction and manufacturing to energy and aerospace, we support Arizona’s growing industries by connecting production hubs with project sites.
Each shipment is carefully planned for legal compliance, time efficiency, and route safety under ADOT and DOT oversight.
Trailer Types for Arizona Heavy Haul Transport
Every shipment demands the correct trailer setup for safe and compliant delivery — especially in Arizona’s challenging desert conditions. Our diverse fleet includes every type of trailer for specialized loads.
Our trailer types include:
Flatbed Trailers: For general freight, materials, and medium machinery
Step Deck Trailers: For taller or high-clearance equipment
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers: Perfect for bulldozers, excavators, and large vehicles
Double Drop & Extendable Trailers: Used for long industrial freight, beams, or turbines
Hot Shot Trailers: Ideal for urgent or small deliveries
All trailers are DOT-certified, fully maintained, and equipped with load supports, tie-downs, and ramps. Our dispatch team selects the most efficient configuration based on your equipment’s weight, size, and destination.
Route Planning & Load Tracking Technology
At American Heavy Haul, technology drives efficiency. Our team uses GPS, ADOT mapping systems, and real-time route monitoring to manage every shipment across Arizona’s highways.
We calculate bridge weights, grades, height restrictions, and construction zones before dispatching any load. Once your shipment is underway, you’ll receive live tracking updates, ETA notifications, and access to 24/7 dispatch communication.
This transparent system keeps your project moving safely, eliminates delays, and ensures your cargo reaches its destination on time and within full compliance.
