Frequently asked questions

Do you handle permits and escorts?

Yes. We secure state permits and pilot/escort cars when dimensions or weight require them.

What equipment do you use?

Double drops, RGNs, stretch/extendable decks, and maxi setups depending on height, length, and weight.

Can oversize loads be tarped?

When practical; many oversize pieces run open due to size. Share finish sensitivity so we plan coverings if feasible.

What details do you need?

Precise length/width/height/weight, loading method, site rules, and timing help us price and route correctly.
