Moving the Impossible
When your cargo is too tall, too wide, too long, or too heavy for standard trailers, you need over dimensional freight expertise. From construction equipment and industrial machinery to wind turbine components and prefabricated structures, oversized loads require specialized equipment, route planning, and permit coordination to move safely and legally.
Challenges
Over dimensional shipping involves complex regulations that vary by state. Height restrictions, bridge weight limits, travel time curfews, and escort requirements create logistical hurdles. Without proper planning, your shipment can face delays, fines, or route rejections.

Key Benefits
Freight is considered over dimensional when it exceeds standard legal limits: width over 8.5 feet, height over 13.5 feet, length over 53 feet, or weight over 80,000 lbs gross. Loads exceeding any of these dimensions require special permits and often specialized equipment.
We handle construction equipment, excavators, cranes, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, wind turbine components, prefabricated buildings, transformers, generators, mining equipment, steel beams, bridge sections, and any cargo exceeding standard size or weight limits.
Common equipment includes Step Deck trailers for extra height clearance, Double Drop trailers for tall cargo, Lowboy trailers for heavy equipment, RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailers for drive-on loading, Stretch trailers for long cargo, and Multi-axle trailers for extremely heavy loads.
Each state requires separate permits for oversized loads. Permit requirements vary based on dimensions, weight, and route. Fide Freight handles all permit applications, route approvals, and state-specific compliance requirements so your shipment moves legally across every state line.
Depending on cargo dimensions and state regulations, pilot cars (escort vehicles) may be required to travel ahead of or behind your load. Some states require law enforcement escorts for extremely large shipments. We coordinate all required escorts as part of your shipment.
Over dimensional shipments require more planning than standard freight. Permit acquisition typically takes 3-10 business days depending on states involved. Complex routes requiring utility coordination or bridge analysis may need additional lead time. Contact us early to ensure on-time delivery.
Heavy haul refers to shipments exceeding 80,000 lbs that require specialized multi-axle trailers and often additional permits. Heavy haul carriers have equipment rated for loads from 80,000 lbs up to 500,000+ lbs for the largest industrial equipment and machinery.
Yes, we coordinate superload shipments - the largest and heaviest over dimensional cargo requiring extensive route engineering, multiple state permits, police escorts, and utility coordination. Our team has experience moving transformers, reactors, heavy machinery, and other superload cargo.
