Heavy haul

Heavy Haul Trucking & Oversize Loads

Past 8'6" wide, 13'6" tall, or 80,000 pounds, it stops being trucking and becomes a project.

Permits in every state you cross. Pilot cars past certain widths. A route that clears every bridge. We plan all of it before the wheels turn, and one person owns it start to finish.

Where the project starts

The limits, and what happens past them

Legal freight rides at up to 8'6" wide, 13'6" tall, and 80,000 pounds gross. Cross any of those lines and every state on the route wants its own permit, on its own rules, on its own timeline.

Permits, state by state

Oversize and overweight permits are issued per state, per trip. A five-state move means five permits, each with its own dimensions math and travel-time restrictions. We coordinate all of them and build the lead time into the plan instead of discovering it at the border.

Pilot cars and escorts

Loads past roughly 12 feet wide typically need escort vehicles, and very wide, tall, or long loads need two. We line up certified pilot cars across every state on the route, so the truck never sits waiting on an escort.

Route surveys for the biggest moves

Superloads, generally past 16 feet in any dimension or into six-figure weights, get a physical route check: bridges, overpasses, turns, and clearances verified before the permit is even filed. Those moves take weeks of lead time, and we tell you that on day one.

The right trailer for the dimensions

A step-deck buys you 10 feet of cargo height. A double-drop or lowboy buys nearly 12 in the well. An RGN drops its nose so a dozer drives on under its own power. We match the trailer to the freight, not the other way around.

How Fello runs it

One person owns the whole move

Heavy haul fails in the gaps: the permit that didn't match the axle weights, the escort that didn't show, the route nobody drove first. So we don't split your move across departments. One person plans it, sources an open-deck carrier that has hauled your kind of freight, coordinates the permits and escorts, and stays on the phone until it lands.

When a project deadline didn't care how hard oversize capacity is to find, we covered 20 heavy haul loads in three days. That story is on the blog.

  • Carriers vetted for oversize experience, equipment, and insurance before tender.
  • Permits and escorts coordinated across every state on the route.
  • Honest lead times up front: permits take days, superloads take weeks.
  • A proactive ETA update on every load, and a person reachable 24/7.
  • Across all shipments, updated quarterly, 98.5% of pickups and 98.6% of deliveries land on time. Last updated 06/30/2026
What rides heavy

The freight that needs this

Construction and mining equipment, transformers and generators, structural steel and bridge girders, pre-fab building sections, industrial machinery. If it makes a permit office reach for the calculator, it belongs here.

1

Send the dimensions

Length, width, height, weight, and where it's going. Photos help. We'll tell you the same day whether it's a legal load, a permit load, or a superload project.

2

Get the real plan

Equipment, route, permit timeline, escort needs, and an honest price. No surprises at the state line.

3

Watch it move

Tracking on the load and a named person on the phone, from first permit to final delivery.
