Trucking Industry Overview
HEAVY HAULERS

The Importance of the Trucking Industry

The trucking industry is a significant contributor to the U.S. economy. Millions of dollars of raw materials, goods and products travel along the interstate system of highways that criss-cross the continent, moving from one city to another with the help of trucking companies and the drivers who run the routes on a daily basis.

Heavy Haulers has been transporting heavy-duty equipment and vehicles across the United States, Mexico and Canada for more than a decade. We specialize in shipping Superload and over-dimensional cargo that requires permits and signage to travel from state to state. For more information, call us now! (800) 908-6206

The Types of Trucking Companies

In the trucking industry, there are two types of hauls that companies tackle: full truckload (FTL) and Less than truckload (LTL). Full truckload drivers deliver full loads to a single client, while LTL freight drivers often deliver smaller cargo, often to different recipients. FedEx and UPS are two popular examples of LTL carriers, but there are companies that transport heavier cargo like equipment and machinery that doesn't make a full load.

Trucking companies are constantly riding a thin line between profit and loss. Handling freight for long hauls can be a profitable venture, but must often be supplemented with partial hauls or backhauls, one-way transports that can help drivers avoid the dreaded deadhead trip, which involves the transport of an empty trailer back to the carrier's location after a delivery.

The Role of the Heavy Equipment Shippers

Many industries regularly use large equipment to perform their daily tasks. Construction, agriculture and energy entities utilize oversized machinery that must often be transported from job site to job site. Heavy Haulers, like other heavy equipment shipping providers, move these tools where they need to go in order to keep companies productive. With specialized trailers like the Removable Gooseneck (RGN) and Drop Deck, Heavy Haulers is equipped to ship over-dimensional equipment anywhere it needs to go throughout the North American continent. We provide high quality logistics services and door to door service to ensure that your important oversize vehicle or equipment reaches its destination without a scratch.
