HEAVY HAUL & SPECIALIZED FREIGHT

Big freight.
A carefully planned move.

Machinery, oversized cargo, and overweight shipments require more than a truck. Soda City Freight coordinates equipment, loading details, routing, and permit needs through the Landstar network.

MATCH THE EQUIPMENT TO THE FREIGHT

Specialized capacity.
Shipment-specific planning.

We review the dimensions, weight, loading method, and site conditions before recommending a transportation plan.

Machinery & equipment

Construction equipment, industrial machinery, and other large pieces needing the right deck configuration and loading arrangements.

Share the make, model, attachments, shipping dimensions, and verified weight.

Oversized & overweight freight

Loads exceeding standard legal dimensions or weight require a review of axle configurations, permits, routing, and travel restrictions.

Exact requirements depend on the freight, equipment, and states traveled.

RGN, double drop & multi-axle

Lower deck heights and specialized configurations can help accommodate taller or heavier freight. Ground clearance and loading access also affect the choice.

Trailer selection and capacity require confirmation.

Project & coordinated moves

Plan multiple pieces, loading sequences, receiving appointments, and communication with the locations involved.

Send a piece list, drawings, photos, and target dates to start.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Start with the freight.
We’ll review the fit.

Can I get a heavy-haul estimate online?

Yes, for eligible shipments within the instant quote tool’s stated limits. Select the appropriate equipment and provide the required freight dimensions and weight. The displayed amount is an estimate, subject to review and confirmation.

What if the load exceeds the online tool’s limits?

Request a custom quote. The online estimator’s limits do not define all the shipments our agency can evaluate. Send the details so our team can review specialized capacity and planning requirements.

Are permits, escorts, and surveys included?

The online quote identifies estimated permit costs where applicable. Escort, police, survey, and other shipment-specific requirements need review. Our team confirms the applicable costs and transportation plan before booking.

Do I need to know which trailer to use?

No. Send exact dimensions, weight, photos, and loading details. Our team can help evaluate the equipment options.
