When it comes to transporting oversized and wide load cargo, the challenges are unique and often require specialized equipment, careful planning, and expert handling. At SSB Trucking Company, we are experts in oversized and wide load transport services, ensuring that your large, heavy, or over-dimensional freight is safely and efficiently delivered to its destination. Whether you need to move construction machinery, industrial equipment, prefabricated structures, or any other large-scale item, our experienced team and specialized fleet have you covered.

What is Oversized and Wide Load Transport?

Oversized and wide load transport refers to the transportation of cargo that exceeds standard legal size or weight limits for trucks on public roads. This includes loads that are too tall, wide, or heavy to fit within standard shipping dimensions. These types of shipments require special permits, route planning, and in some cases, escort vehicles to ensure safe transit. At SSB Trucking, we provide comprehensive oversized load services, from obtaining the necessary permits to ensuring compliance with all regulations.

Key Features of Our Oversized and Wide Load Services

1. Specialized Equipment for Large Loads
   SSB Trucking operates a fleet of specialized trucks and trailers designed to handle oversized and wide loads. Our fleet includes flatbed trailers, step-deck trailers, lowboy trailers, and extendable trailers, all of which are capable of accommodating a variety of large and heavy cargo. Whether you’re transporting industrial equipment, large machinery, or prefabricated building materials, we have the right equipment to safely move your load.

2. Expert Route Planning and Permits
   Moving oversized and wide loads requires meticulous planning to ensure the safety of the shipment and compliance with state and federal regulations. Our logistics team is experienced in handling the complexities of oversized load transport, including obtaining the necessary permits, coordinating with state transportation departments, and planning routes that avoid weight-restricted roads, low bridges, and other obstacles. We handle all the details, so you don’t have to worry about the complexities of oversized transport.

3. Escort Vehicles and Safety
   For especially large or wide shipments, safety is a top priority. We provide escort vehicles, also known as pilot cars, to guide your oversized load through difficult or high-traffic areas. These vehicles help ensure that other drivers are aware of the large load and assist in safely navigating the shipment along the designated route. Our team follows all state requirements for pilot vehicles, ensuring that your oversized load is transported safely and securely.

4. Professional and Experienced Drivers
   Our drivers are highly trained and experienced in handling oversized and wide load shipments. They are familiar with the specialized techniques and safety protocols required for transporting large, over-dimensional cargo. Our drivers work closely with our logistics team and escort vehicles to ensure that every load is handled with the utmost care and arrives at its destination safely and on time.

5. Permits and Compliance Management
   Transporting oversized and wide loads involves adhering to a wide array of regulations and obtaining specific permits from each state your load will pass through. At SSB Trucking, we manage the entire permitting process for you. This includes applying for the necessary oversize permits, coordinating with transportation authorities, and ensuring that all safety and regulatory standards are met. Our team handles everything to ensure a smooth, compliant transport from start to finish.

6. Heavy Haul Capabilities
   In addition to wide loads, SSB Trucking specializes in heavy haul transportation for cargo that exceeds the standard weight limits for typical trucks. We are equipped to handle shipments that weigh several tons, making us the go-to solution for industries like construction, manufacturing, and energy that require the movement of heavy equipment. Our lowboy trailers and other specialized equipment are built to transport these heavy loads while maintaining safety and compliance.
