Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We arrange drayage from port to our warehouse or your designated site, then transload the OOG cargo onto Flatbed/Step Deck/Lowboy for final delivery.

We assist. The carrier typically handles permit application and route survey as part of the quoted price. You provide accurate dimensions, weight and ZIPs — wrong info can cause permits to be rejected.

Heavy haul quotes require human review: equipment matching, per-state permit variation, pilot / escort needs, route height/width restrictions, on-site loading conditions. These can't be auto-calculated and need dispatcher review per shipment.

With complete info, initial quote within 4 business hours. Complex routes (multi-permit, pilot car required, multi-state) may take 1 business day.

Specialized equipment (Flatbed/Step Deck/Lowboy) typically bills per truckload, not LTL. Short routes still have minimum trip charges. Confirmed pricing per quote.
