Common Heavy Haul Routes in Nevada
Nevada’s vast desert highways and industrial corridors make it one of the most critical freight gateways in the western United States.
Major routes — I-80, I-15, US-93, US-95, and US-50 — connect Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and Elko, linking California ports with Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.
At American Heavy Haul, our logistics planners use Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) mapping data, bridge clearance databases, and oversize corridor permits to design the safest, most efficient paths for every shipment.
We handle the unique challenges of mountain passes, desert winds, and limited-access highways — ensuring your oversize freight moves smoothly across the Silver State.
Whether your load travels along I-15 near Las Vegas or up I-80 through Reno to the Tahoe industrial region, our dispatchers coordinate all NDOT permits, pilot escorts, and route surveys to deliver your equipment safely and on time.

Trailer Types for Nevada Heavy Haul Transport
Each shipment requires the proper trailer configuration for safety, compliance, and terrain.
Our Nevada fleet includes:
Flatbed Trailers: Perfect for construction materials, crates, and general equipment.
Step Deck Trailers: Designed for tall machinery exceeding standard height limits.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers: Ideal for excavators, dozers, and large machinery.
Double Drop & Extendable Trailers: For turbines, modular units, and long industrial cargo.
Hot Shot Trailers: For smaller or urgent deliveries within Nevada or to nearby states.
All trailers are DOT-certified, maintained for desert travel conditions, and equipped with ramps, chains, and secure tie-downs.
We match every shipment with the optimal trailer and certified crew to guarantee compliance and protection.
Route Planning & Load Tracking Technology
At American Heavy Haul, we replace guesswork with technology.
Our route engineers use NDOT databases, GPS tracking, and advanced road-grade analytics to plan and monitor every move.
Before transport begins, we analyze bridge limits, turning radii, gradients, and construction zones to select the safest and most cost-efficient route.
Once en route, you receive real-time tracking access, status notifications, and 24/7 dispatch communication until delivery.
This level of transparency and precision makes us one of the most trusted names in Nevada heavy haul logistics.
