Freedom Heavy Haul is Texas’s trusted partner for oversize and overweight load transport, serving the state’s most demanding industries across its vast geography. From the Permian Basin’s oilfield equipment moves to wind turbine transport along the Gulf Coast, we handle freight that standard carriers simply can’t touch. Our Texas heavy haul operations cover construction machinery, drilling rigs, industrial equipment, and agricultural implements — delivering loads safely and on-schedule from Houston to El Paso, Midland-Odessa to the DFW Metroplex. With in-house permit specialists, experienced pilot car coordination, and 24/7 dispatch, we make Texas’s complex regulatory environment seamless for our clients.
Texas is the largest oversize transport market in the United States, driven by its booming oil and gas industry, massive wind energy buildout, and constant construction activity in its major metro areas. Freedom Heavy Haul operates a full fleet of specialized trailers engineered for Texas’s most challenging freight:
Our Texas heavy haul services cover load types including: oilfield and gas production equipment, wind turbine components (blades, nacelles, towers), construction cranes and telehandlers, mining equipment, prefabricated structures, industrial machinery, and agriculture equipment from the Texas Panhandle’s farm country.
Texas permit coordination is handled entirely in-house by our dedicated permit team. We manage single-trip and continuous permits from TxDMV, coordinate with TxDOT for restricted corridors, and arrange escort requirements for oversized moves. Our team tracks seasonal permit restrictions and knows the specific rules for each Texas highway district.
Texas enforces some of the most detailed and specific oversize/overweight (OS/OW) transport regulations in the country, reflective of its massive freight infrastructure and oilfield industry demands.
Standard Legal Limits (no permit):
Oversize Permit Thresholds (Texas-Specific): Texas is unique in allowing extraordinary permitted loads. With the appropriate Superload permits, Texas authorizes gross vehicle weights up to 254,300 lbs — one of the highest limits in the nation. Width up to 20 feet and height up to 18 feet are achievable with proper routing, engineering surveys, and TxDOT coordination.
Permit Types: TxDMV issues single-trip, annual, and blanket permits. Loads exceeding 110,000 lbs require a Superload permit and engineering review. Travel is generally restricted to daytime hours, with sunrise-to-sunset windows on most state highways. Weekend and holiday travel restrictions apply in metro areas including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.
Pilot Car Requirements: Loads wider than 14 feet require front and rear escorts. Loads over 16 feet wide may require law enforcement escort in certain counties. Our team pre-arranges all escort requirements as part of every Texas permitted move.
