Specialized Hauling: Over Dimensional & Overweight
Specialized hauling plays a large part in the day to day operations at Stephen Frederick Logistics. In January 2012 we coordinated a 15’ wide boiler weighing 100,000 lbs from Ontario to Maine. The job was not without its challenges. It required a lot of planning with both the shipper and project engineers, and a solid line of communication with our specialized carrier in order to ensure that all of the legal requirements were met for this move. The shipment required planning on all fronts, requiring permits and escorts in both Canada and the USA. Overall the shipment took 5 days to complete over approximately 650 miles. This is one of many ‘super loads’ we have handled recently, as we do everything from overweight (upwards of 105,000 lbs) to over dimensional (upwards of 20’ wide).
We have spent many years building relationships with customers and carriers alike, in order to guarantee that we are providing our customers with the best options available. It is this strong relationship with carriers across North America that allows us a competitive advantage and quick reaction time to these types of specialized moves.
At Stephen Frederick’s we provide exceptional organization of heavy and over dimensional transport. We have a large network of heavy haul and specialized carriers in the USA, Mexico and Canada, in order to service any unique moves. Our team of freight coordinators will assist you every step of the way, sourcing the correct equipment for your move, discussing options and loading requirements, and following up to make sure your move is problem free from start to finish.
