Frequently Asked Questions About Specialized Transportation
What is specialized transport?
Specialized transport refers to the shipment of products and materials that cannot be moved by conventional or standard transportation methods. The size, weight, or nature of the freight typically exceeds the legal limits for standard trucks and trailers, requiring special equipment, permits, and planning to move safely and legally.
When is freight considered heavy haul?
Freight is generally classified as heavy haul when it exceeds 8.5 feet in width and weighs more than 46,000 lbs - up to 80,000 lbs or beyond with appropriate permits. US Express Carriers offers heavy haul trucking solutions in Nevada and throughout the continental United States, with the experience and equipment needed to handle these demanding shipments.
What is open deck freight shipping?
Open deck freight shipping is used when the dimensions of the freight exceed the interior space of a standard enclosed trailer, or when the freight is too heavy for a conventional box truck. Flatbeds, step decks, double drops, and RGN trailers are all examples of open deck equipment. US Express Carriers has the specialized transportation equipment and trained drivers to accommodate even the most challenging open deck loads.
What types of freight require specialized transportation services?
Specialized freight typically includes oversized industrial machinery, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, energy sector components, prefabricated structures, and any cargo that does not fit within a standard box trailer. In short, if it cannot be enclosed in a conventional trailer, specialized transportation is the answer - and US Express Carriers is ready to handle it.
