Heavy Haul Trucking and Oversize Load Transport
RGN, lowboy, step deck and multi-axle carriers booked by a licensed broker, with permits for every state on the route
Quick answer
What is heavy haul trucking?
Heavy haul trucking moves loads that are over the legal limits: wider than 8 ft 6 in, taller than the state's legal height (13 ft 6 in in most states, 14 ft or more in much of the West), or heavier than 80,000 lb gross or the axle limits. Each state on the route issues its own permit, the trailer must suit the load's height and weight, and some loads need escorts.

HTS Logistics is a licensed property broker (MC# 1178470). We do not own trucks: for each load we book a carrier that has the right trailer and active authority, arrange the permits for every road owner on the route, and track the move to delivery. If you are comparing heavy haul trucking companies, the questions below are the ones that decide price and timing, whoever hauls the load.
What counts as an oversize or overweight load?
A load is oversize or overweight when any one figure, measured with the load on the trailer, passes the limit for the road it is on. Federal rules in 23 CFR 658 set the baseline for the Interstate and the National Network; each state sets the rest.
| Limit | Federal rule | How states differ |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 8 ft 6 in (102 in) on the National Network | Every state permits wider nondivisible loads; escorts start at 12 to 14 ft in the Northeast. |
| Height | No federal limit | 27 of the 48 states we track set 13 ft 6 in; the other 21 allow 14 ft or more, among them California, Texas, Washington and Colorado. |
| Length | States may not cap a semitrailer under 48 ft on the National Network; 53 ft is the common limit | Overall length limits and overhang rules are set state by state. |
| Gross weight | 80,000 lb on the Interstate | Heavier loads need an overweight permit and enough axles to spread the weight. |
| Axle weight | 20,000 lb single axle, 34,000 lb tandem, and the Bridge Formula for axle groups | Some state laws set higher axle limits; New York's are 22,400 lb single and 36,000 lb tandem. |
Permits are only issued for nondivisible loads: ones that would lose their use or value if split, or that would take more than 8 work hours to take apart (23 CFR 658.5). If taking off a blade or bucket would bring a machine within the limits, expect to take it off; New Jersey, for one, voids any permit for a load that could be divided to meet them (N.J.A.C. 13:18-1.9). To check one load against every state we track at once, use the oversize load checker; for axle spacing, the Bridge Formula calculator.
What do heavy haulers haul?
Mostly construction, mining and farm machines, cranes, and industrial project cargo. The manufacturer figures below show why so many of them cross at least one limit before they leave the yard.
Excavators
A Cat 320 is 10 ft 5 in wide and weighs 49,800 lb in operating trim. That is a width permit, and once it sits on a tractor and trailer the gross passes 80,000 lb.
Dozers
A Cat D8 is 9 ft 2 in wide with the blade off and weighs 76,126 lb. On an RGN deck it stands about 13 ft 7 in, just over the 13 ft 6 in limit in the Northeast.
Cranes
A Grove RT765E-2 rough terrain crane ships at 10 ft 11 in wide and 89,349 lb with its 14,365 lb counterweight pinned on.
Farm machinery
A John Deere S790 combine is 12 ft 11 in wide even with the header off, and the header travels on its own trailer.
Imported machinery and project cargo
Transformers, piling rigs and machines that arrive Ro-Ro or breakbulk. Newark ranked fourth in the U.S. for liquid-filled transformer imports in 2025.
Shipping sizes for 47 machines, with the permit check for each, are on the heavy equipment transport pages.
Superload trucking: where each state draws the line
There is no national definition of a superload. Each state decides when a load stops getting a routine permit and starts getting an engineering review, a route survey or a police escort, and the lines are far apart. A 135,000 lb load 15 ft wide is a superload in Ohio, Massachusetts, Illinois (on a tractor-semitrailer), South Carolina and Arizona, but a routine single-trip permit in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Michigan and Missouri.

Permits people miss: toll roads and bridges
A state permit covers the state's own highways. Toll authorities and bridge commissions issue their own, and a load stopped on one of these roads without its permit is running unpermitted, whatever the state permit says.
New York State Thruway
Its own Special Hauling Permit (ordered in HOOCS) over 80,000 lb, 8 ft 6 in wide or 65 ft long. NYSDOT trip permits are not valid on it, and oversize loads may not travel it on weekends.
Thruway TAP-623
New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Atlantic City Expressway
Permitted by their own authorities. An NJDOT permit covers state routes only.
N.J.A.C. 13:18-1.9
Delaware River toll bridges (NJ-PA)
A bridge commission permit over 80,000 lb, 13 ft 6 in high, 8 ft 6 in wide or 75 ft long, 2 business days ahead. Milford-Montague, Portland-Columbia and New Hope-Lambertville take nothing over 80,000 lb.
DRJTBC
Pennsylvania Turnpike
Its own Special Hauling Permit; a PennDOT permit is not valid on it. Super loads need ten business days.
67 Pa. Code 179.10(5)(ii); PA Turnpike
Ohio Turnpike
Its own permit even when the ODOT permit routes onto it. No permits over 14 ft high.
Ohio Turnpike special hauling
Illinois Tollway
A separate Tollway permit, and the IDOT permit number is needed before applying. Over 12 ft wide or 120,000 lb counts as a Tollway superload.
Illinois Tollway OW/OD permits
In New York the list is longer: the NYS Bridge Authority, New York City DOT (one permit per leg) and county roads such as Suffolk's each issue their own. The details are in our New York oversize permit guide.
How to transport an oversized load
- 1
Measure the load as it will ship
Width, height and weight with the machine on the trailer, not the brochure's operating figures. Attachments that come off (blades, buckets, counterweights, headers) can take a load under a permit line or out of superload range.
- 2
Pick the trailer from height and weight
The deck height decides how tall the load can be before it passes the state's legal height, and the axle count decides how much it can weigh. Tall or tracked machines usually go on an RGN or lowboy; heavier loads add axles.
How RGN trailers load and carry - 3
Permit every road owner on the route
One permit per state, plus toll roads, bridge authorities, New York City and county roads where they apply. Each permit names the route, so the carrier cannot detour.
- 4
Book escorts where a state requires them
Width triggers differ: over 12 ft in New York, over 13 ft in Pennsylvania, over 14 ft in New Jersey and Texas. Height, length and overhang carry their own triggers.
Escort rules in our state permit guides - 5
Plan around travel windows
Most states allow oversize travel in daylight only and ban it on major holidays; New York also bans Sunday travel, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike sets its own holiday windows.
How much do heavy haulers charge?
Carriers price heavy haul by the mile, and the rate climbs with each limit the load crosses. For scale: the national flatbed spot average was $3.61 a mile including fuel in September 2026, and one dispatch company's 2026 guide puts RGN loads at $3.50 to $6.00 a mile when legal, $5 to $15 when oversize or overweight, and $10 to $20 or more for superloads.
Permits and escorts are added on top, and they vary as much as the superload lines do: New York charges a flat $40 for a single-trip permit, Pennsylvania $46 to $97 plus 4 cents per ton-mile when overweight. The heavy equipment transport cost guide breaks down each piece with dates and sources.
Heavy haul trucking by state
- Heavy Haul in New York →Long Island, NYC and upstate moves, carrier counts by county, and machinery entering at Buffalo, Champlain, Albany and Port Newark.
- Heavy Haul in Texas →Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Permian moves: inner-loop limits, Galveston, Freeport and Laredo pickups, and a worked TxDMV fee example.
- Heavy Haul in California →LA, Bay Area and Central Valley moves: 10 ft metro curfews, Bay Bridge hours, Long Beach and Hueneme pickups, and pilot cars by route color.
- Heavy Haul in Florida →Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville moves: permits before the state line, the seven-county rush-hour stop, and Jacksonville port pickups.
- Heavy Haul in Georgia →Brunswick and Savannah pickups to Atlanta, with the I-285 delivery window and the flat $30 permit.
- Heavy Haul in Illinois →Chicago deliveries via the four Cook County corridors, Tollway and city permissions, and Peoria and downstate runs.
- Heavy Haul in Ohio →Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati moves around the 2026 Turnpike closure to wide loads, the 22-county curfew and superload rules.
Heavy haul trucking questions
What is the difference between an oversize and an overweight load?
Oversize means a dimension is over the legal limit: wider than 8 ft 6 in, taller than the state's legal height or longer than its length limit. Overweight means the gross is over 80,000 lb or an axle group is over its limit, such as 20,000 lb on a single axle or 34,000 lb on a tandem under federal rules. Many machines are both, and the permit covers each condition.
What is a superload?
A load large or heavy enough that the state reviews it individually, usually with a bridge analysis, a route survey or police escorts. Each state draws its own line: Ohio at 120,000 lb or 14 ft wide, Pennsylvania at 201,000 lb, 160 ft long or 16 ft wide, and Texas at 254,300 lb for its Super Heavy permit.
Do I need a pilot car for my load?
It depends on the state and the dimension. New York requires a certified escort over 12 ft wide, Pennsylvania a pilot car over 13 ft, and New Jersey and Texas an escort over 14 ft. Length, height and overhang add their own triggers, and some crossings, such as Port Authority bridges into New York City, require a police escort for any oversize load.
How far ahead does a superload have to be planned?
Weeks, not days. Pennsylvania wants the preliminary superload application at least three weeks ahead, Texas Super Heavy permits take 3 to 4 weeks with an engineer's bridge analysis, California variance permits 30 days, and Connecticut superloads 5 business days plus a route survey done within a week of the move. Routine permits are covered in our guide to how oversize permits work.
What is a nondivisible load?
Federal rules call a load nondivisible when splitting it would compromise its intended use, destroy its value, or take more than 8 work hours to dismantle with appropriate equipment (23 CFR 658.5). States issue oversize and overweight permits for nondivisible loads; a load that can be broken down into legal pieces has to be.
Can you pick up equipment bought at Ritchie Bros or IronPlanet auctions?
Yes. We move equipment bought at Ritchie Bros and IronPlanet auctions and rented through Cat Rental. Send the item or lot number, the yard address and its pickup hours, and the make and model, and we check the machine's shipping dimensions before booking the carrier.
