RGN & Lowboy Heavy Haul

Removable gooseneck, double drop and lowboy trailers are how the heavy, tall stuff moves - excavators, dozers, transformers, presses. Add a stretch or expandable deck and it's how the long stuff moves too. This is the freight where the carrier's experience matters more than the rate, and we book it that way.

What rides on it

  • Excavators, dozers, loaders, cranes
  • Transformers, generators, switchgear
  • Presses, mills and plant machinery
  • Long fabricated steel and trusses on stretch decks
  • Tanks, vessels and skids

How we run it

  1. 01

    We start with the exact dimensions and weight, and photos when you have them. That tells us the trailer, the axle count, and whether it's legal or permitted.

  2. 02

    The carrier pulls the permits and books the escorts - that's their trade and their equipment. We coordinate: route, timing, permit windows, escort meet points, and the phone calls in between.

  3. 03

    Loading and unloading get talked through ahead of time - who's rigging, what the ground is like, whether the driver needs a crane on site.

Questions shippers ask us

How fast can you quote?

Send us origin, destination, dimensions, weight and when it needs to move. Standard open deck usually comes back the same business day. Permitted over-dimensional takes longer because the route and permits drive the price - we'll tell you up front how long we need.

Do you handle the permits and pilot cars?

The carrier pulls the permits and books the escorts; that's how it works in this trade and it keeps the people doing it accountable. We coordinate everything around it - route, timing, permit windows, escort meet points - and keep you posted.

How heavy can you go?

Legal weight on standard equipment, and permitted moves up to roughly 150,000 lbs on multi-axle RGN and lowboy configurations. Heavier than that is a specialized rig job - we'll tell you straight if it's outside what we should touch.

What do you need from me to quote it?

Length, width, height, weight, what it is, and where it's going. Photos help. If it needs a crane or a rigger at either end, tell us so the timing works.

How do you vet the carriers you put on my freight?

Every carrier is checked before they get a load - authority, insurance on file for the commodity, safety record, and whether they've actually run this kind of freight. Open deck is not the place for a first-timer. If a carrier doesn't clear, they don't get the load, no matter how cheap the truck is.

What's your on-time record?

We track on-time pickup and delivery on every load and will show you our current numbers when we talk. If a load is going to be late, you hear it from us before you'd have to ask.

Have a rgn / lowboy load?

Send us the dimensions and the date. We'll take it from there.
