The wind turbine manufacturing company contacted Amanda Sibley to haul a 24,000lbs wind turbine blade replacement. The wind turbine blade was 146' 8"L x 11' 10"W x 11' 10"H. The length exceeded standard oversize load dimensions, which put the wind turbine blade squarely into the super load category. Thankfully, Amanda is an experienced logistics agent with several super load transports under her belt. She immediately gathered all the details necessary to transport the wind turbine blades from New Mexico to Texas. Once she had everything she needed, Amanda set to work.
Heavy Haulers is an all-inclusive super load transport company, so Amanda took care of every detail for the client. She had to monitor weather conditions, as wind farms shut down if there is a high mile per hour wind. This could be a hazard, so Amanda had to work around the elements to ensure they chose a date when the weather wouldn’t cause an issue. Wind turbine blade transport is a very specialized transport that must be done with the highest safety standards—not only for the equipment, but for the safety of the team and other motorists on the road. Amanda acquired the permits, route survey, and escort vehicles for the super load ahead of time.

Wind turbine blades require a specialized blade trailer for transport. The measures of the turbine blade must be exact, because the trailer must be adjusted to specifications. Amanda paid attention to detail, ensuring that the blade trailer was exactly right for hauling the turbine blade. She contracted a crane crew to load the wind turbine blade onto the trailer. The crew got it onto the trailer safely and secured it with stands and straps. Amanda had the crew triple check that every safety precaution was taken and that the wind turbine blade was properly secured. Once she was satisfied, the driver began the 742.9 mile journey from New Mexico to Texas.
Because of the size of the wind turbine blade, the route survey had to be pre-planned ensuring that the turn radius was within OEM specs throughout the journey. This super load had escort vehicles in front and behind the truck, to ensure the driver had clear passage, and that motorists kept a safe distance. It took three days for the driver to deliver the wind turbine blade to the wind farm in Texas. Thanks to Amanda’s precise planning, leadership skills, and clear directions, the wind turbine blade was delivered safely and on time. This wind turbine blade has a value of $70,000. Amanda’s experience and precision is what has client’s asking for her by name to handle their super load transports.
