Heavy & Oversized Freight

Apex Construction Group

DGL moved a 60-ton excavator across three states — permits, escorts, the works. It arrived on schedule and without a scratch.

Heavy Freight Options

Flatbeds, step-decks, RGNs, and specialized trailers — matched to your dimensions, weight, and route, with permits and escorts handled.

Flatbed & Step-Deck

For tall, wide, or long loads that won’t fit inside a dry van.

RGN & Lowboy

Drop-deck trailers for machinery and equipment up to 80,000+ lbs.

Permits & Escorts

Oversize/overweight permits and pilot cars arranged for every state on the route.

Crating & Bracing

FAQ

Heavy-Haul Questions

What counts as oversized or overweight freight?

Anything that exceeds legal trailer limits — generally over 8.5 ft wide, 13.5 ft tall, 53 ft long, or 80,000 lbs gross. We handle the permits when you go over.

Do you arrange permits and escorts?

Yes. We pull oversize/overweight permits for every state on the route and arrange pilot cars or police escorts where required.

What type of trailer will my load need?

It depends on dimensions and weight — flatbed, step-deck, double-drop, RGN/lowboy, or multi-axle. We match the trailer to the load.

Can you handle loading and unloading?

We coordinate crane and rigging support at both ends, plus professional blocking, bracing, and tarping.

Is my heavy equipment insured in transit?

Yes — high-value cargo insurance is available on every heavy-haul shipment.
