Wide Load and Oversize Trucking Services in California
Transporting a wide load can be tough when you do not have the right trailer. A load is considered wide when any freight exceeds 102 inches in width. When your cargo exceeds the standard width, you need specialized wide load trucking services that have a strong reputation for timely and safe hauling. These are typically moved on a flatbed trailer and there are certain rules, laws, and regulations put in place to keep carriers and other drivers safe. At Winetoast Carrier, we specialize in transporting heavy machinery by excellent vehicles, capable of shipping loads regardless of size, shape and height. Whether you are moving construction gear or heavy industrial components, our team ensures your freight is handled with care.
Why You Should Hire Us
When it comes to shipping over dimensional or wide loads such as tractors, cranes or bulldozers, it is important to know the exact dimension to set the right trailer to haul the cargo. We offer some unique features that differentiates from other haulers. Here is why Winetoast Carrier stands out:
- Mastery over Road Regulations: We live and breathe hauling rules and regulations. We know exactly when you need a permit and what signage is required.
- Caring Approach: Our drivers are specifically trained in wide-load shipping, including managing blind turns and maintaining lane integrity with extra-wide cargo.
- Modern, Specialized Fleet: We utilize a variety of trailers, including lowboys and extendable step-decks, to ensure your load sits at the safest possible space.
- Full Permit Coordination: We handle all state and local permits to ensure your project stays on schedule and avoids costly fines.
What Makes us the Best Hauling Company
Most oversize trucking companies can move a load from one place to another, but Winetoast Carrier excels in the impossible details. What makes us unique is our Pre-Route Survey process. Before we even load your freight, our logistics team can perform a digital or physical survey of the route to identify low-hanging wires, bridge weight limits, or construction zones that have not hit the public maps yet.
Additionally, we maintain a close-knit network of certified pilot car drivers across California. This allows us to scale quickly for massive projects that require multiple escorts, ensuring that your transport is visible and safe from every angle. We offer a tailored engineering solution for your most challenging freight.
Our Seamless Process of Oversize Hauling
We believe that transparency is the key to a successful heavy haul. Here is our step-by-step process:
- Project Analysis: You need to provide the dimensions (width, height, weight) of the load to be transported, and based on that we determine the specific truck and permits needed.
- Route Mapping: Our team selects the safest route through California, avoiding obstacles like low overpasses or narrow grades if any.
- Loading & Securement: Using heavy-duty chains and binders, our specialists secure your cargo to prevent any shifting during transit.
- Monitored Transit: Our drivers stay in constant contact with the delivery team, providing updates as they pass through major checkpoints.
- Safe Delivery: We arrive at your site and assist with the positioning and safe unloading of your load.
