Federal and State Regulations

Freedom Heavy Haul is well-versed in the regulatory requirements needed to transport oversized loads. We handle the paperwork for you, obtaining the necessary permits from both the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). If your load exceeds 80,000 pounds or stands taller than 14 feet, we ensure compliance with legal standards. Learn more about how we navigate North Dakota’s heavy haul regulations.

Pre-Transport Planning

Transporting oversized cargo requires careful planning to avoid unnecessary delays or issues. At Freedom Heavy Haul, we work closely with you to plan every detail.

Route Surveys and Seasonal Impact

Before your load ever hits the road, we conduct detailed route surveys. North Dakota’s rural roads and changing seasons can pose unique challenges, and we take everything into account. We’ll map out the best path to avoid obstacles like low bridges or weight-restricted roads. Whether it’s icy conditions in winter or soft roads during the spring thaw, Freedom Heavy Haul plans around seasonal hazards so your load gets where it needs to be on time.

By working with us, you can have peace of mind knowing that every factor—weather, road conditions, and potential hazards—has been considered in advance.

Vehicle and Equipment Requirements

For safe transport, your cargo requires specialized vehicles and equipment. At Freedom Heavy Haul, we provide top-of-the-line trailers and support vehicles tailored to your specific load.

Specialized Trailers and Escort Vehicles

We know that your heavy haul needs the right equipment. Freedom Heavy Haul offers a variety of specialized trailers such as multi-axle and lowboy trailers to accommodate oversized and heavy cargo. These trailers are designed to distribute weight evenly, reducing the risk of damage to the road and ensuring the stability of your load. Learn more about our specialized fleet.

Additionally, we deploy escort vehicles when needed. These vehicles help navigate your oversized load through high-traffic areas, narrow roads, and sharp turns, ensuring a smooth journey from start to finish. With our escort services, we aim to make your transport as safe as possible for both your cargo and other drivers on the road.
