The Challenge

The bucket width pushed this load into oversize territory, requiring permits across four states — Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Michigan. Each state carries its own permitting timeline and dimensional thresholds, and the client had a hard delivery deadline tied to a construction project start date.

The Outcome

Freedom Heavy Haul secured all four state permits within 48 hours, routed the load to avoid known low-clearance structures, and delivered the Volvo L150F on time and undamaged. The client’s jobsite crew was able to begin operations the following morning as scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you ship a Volvo L150F wheel loader?

A Volvo L150F is typically transported on an RGN (Removable Gooseneck) trailer. At 52,062 lbs operating weight and a bucket width over 10 feet, this machine requires oversize permits in every state it crosses. The bucket must be positioned and secured carefully to manage overall height for bridge clearances.

How many states require permits to transport a wheel loader from Florida to Michigan?

A haul from Florida to Michigan crosses up to four states — Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Michigan — each requiring its own oversize/overweight permit. Permit processing times and dimensional thresholds differ by state, so coordinating them in sequence is critical to avoid transit gaps.

How long does it take to get oversize permits for a multi-state heavy equipment haul?

With an experienced carrier, a four-state permit package can typically be secured within 24-48 hours. The timeline depends on each state processing speed and whether the load dimensions trigger any special routing or escort requirements.
