How Texas Heavy Haul Works?
1. Equipment Assessment
The transport team collects the equipment type, dimensions, weight, photographs, pickup address, and delivery information.
2. Trailer Selection
A suitable trailer is selected according to the equipment’s size, weight, ground clearance, loading method, and route.
3. Permit & Route Planning
If the shipment exceeds Texas legal limits, the required permit and authorized route are identified. TxDMV requires exact load and vehicle information for permit processing.
4. Escort Planning
Pilot cars or other escorts are arranged when required by the dimensions, route, or permit conditions. TxDMV also specifies equipment and communication requirements for escort vehicles.
5. Loading & Securement
The equipment is loaded, positioned, balanced, and secured before transportation begins.
6. Transportation
The driver follows the approved route and permit conditions while monitoring road conditions and clearance requirements.
7. Final Delivery
The equipment is delivered to the requested job site, warehouse, farm, dealership, or industrial location.
What Makes Texas Heavy Haul Different?
Texas equipment transportation can involve long distances, changing road conditions, major highways, industrial areas, rural roads, and large construction projects. A professional carrier understands that every load has different requirements.
A strong transportation plan considers:
- Equipment dimensions
- Gross weight
- Axle distribution
- Trailer capacity
- Bridge restrictions
- Road clearances
- Traffic conditions
- Permit requirements
- Escort requirements
- Loading access
- Delivery conditions
For especially large shipments, route inspections may be necessary before a permit can be issued. TxDMV requires route inspection certification for certain loads exceeding specified dimensions.
