We help our customers ship all types of oversized loads, including but not limited to oversized vehicles, Farm machinery, construction machinery, and bulky raw materials. Our drivers are highly experienced and familiar with the local routes and terrain, an essential aspect of hassle-free transport. We handle every detail of the transport, from acquiring permits, insurance, and police escorts to conducting route surveys and escorting the load during shipping.

The importance of pilot cars in maintaining safety and efficiency for oversized transports cannot be understated. Oversized loads interfere with traffic by occupying multiple lanes or traveling below highway speeds, necessitating a warning mechanism for other motorists. In New Mexico, the state's Department of Transportation issues oversized permits, which lay out the number and type of pilot cars that should escort the load and the mode of their operations. Not only do our specialists handle the acquisition of permits, but they also ensure we meet the requirements they specify. New Mexico oversized permits are valid for five days. When coming from out of state, permits can be purchased at Ports of entry if the load size does not require a bridge check or route survey. We coordinate with the local state police departments and owners of overhead utilities where necessary.
