Common Heavy Haul Routes in California

At American Heavy Haul, our dispatch team uses Caltrans-approved data, real-time GPS logistics, and industry-grade routing software to plan legal, efficient heavy haul routes.
We avoid restricted bridges, low clearance routes, and urban curfews while maintaining compliance with California DOT and CHP oversize load regulations.
Whether your load travels through the Port of Los Angeles, Oakland, or Bakersfield’s energy corridor, we coordinate with local authorities, escorts, and Caltrans to deliver on time and in full compliance statewide.
