Fast, reliable & cost effective Equipment Transport

Move large equipment across Missouri without surprises. I-70 runs east-west from Kansas City to St. Louis, carrying over 40,000 vehicles daily. Our team maps routes that adapt to nightly lane shifts and active work zones.

We align hauling timelines to the Improve I-70 project, which will add a third lane on parts of the highway by 2030 and targets the first 20 miles (Columbia–Kingdom City) by 2027. That helps you plan permits, pilot cars, and trailer choices early.

Expect clear per mile pricing and honest notes on how season, route, and traffic change cost and time. We use local knowledge of ports like the Port of Kansas City and Port of St. Louis, plus major airports, to link multimodal options when needed.

Our service blends safety and efficiency. With years in freight handling, we coordinate crews, schedule updates, and detours via I-29, I-35, I-44 and other alternates so your loader, vehicles, and cargo keep moving across Missouri.

Heavy equipment hauling made easy during I-70 Missouri upgrades

We make sure your gear reaches its destination despite shifting work zones. Our service pairs one-on-one logistics experts with 24/7 support so updates happen fast and decisions happen sooner.

Years of experience matter. With 16+ years on the road and access to 30,000+ carriers, we match the right trailer and truck to your equipment size and weight. That reduces delays in tighter corridors and keeps freight moving between kansas city and st. louis.

Pricing stays transparent and simple. There are zero upfront costs and clear quotes that explain how project activity affects time and budget.

“Your dedicated agent coordinates permits, pilot cars, and on-the-ground handling so loads arrive on time.”

• 24/7 support for fast route changes when work patterns shift.
• Professional load securement, driver communication, and safety checks.
• Modern trailers and broad carrier access to match any equipment.

Navigating I-70 Missouri construction with heavy equipment loads

The Improve I-70 project changes travel windows and demands tighter planning for oversized transports. This $2.8B program will add a third lane across the highway. The first 20-mile section from Columbia to Kingdom City is due by late 2027, followed by Warrenton–Wentzville and blue springs–Odessa phases through 2030.

Improve I-70 timeline: Columbia to Kingdom City now, Blue Springs–Odessa and Warrenton–Wentzville next

The initial $405M contract went to Millstone Weber for the Columbia–Kingdom City stretch. Interchange work at U.S. 63 and U.S. 54 will alter ramp geometry and staging over the next few years.

Traffic management: two lanes open by day, strategic night lane closures to save time

Daytime plans keep two lanes open to ease traffic flow. Targeted night closures let crews strengthen shoulders, restripe lanes to the outside, then place median barriers for inside work.

What it means for oversize trucks: shoulder strengthening, median barriers, and safe work zones

Expect tighter clearances, new striping patterns, and barrier-protected work zones. We confirm measured clearances in feet and time moves around active crews.

• Plan: Multi-year project; first 20 miles by 2027, full program by 2030.
• Coordination: We track missouri department transportation notices for permits and escorts.
• Safety: Up to 300 people on site daily—professional driver behavior and clear communication are essential.

“Nightwork sequence—shoulder upgrades, restriping, then barrier placement—directly affects when we schedule heavy moves.”

Smart routing across Missouri’s freight spine: Kansas City to St. Louis

Across missouri, we prioritize steady corridors and known freight hubs to keep schedules tight.

Key links: kansas city, blue springs, odessa, columbia, warrenton, wentzville, and st. louis form the primary flow. We map routes to favor reliable miles and the best lane windows for freight movement.

Key hubs and segments

• We tie kansas city terminals and MCI access into east west plans.
• Urban connectors near blue springs and columbia get staging and fueling stops.
• St. louis links include STL and river intermodal options.

Alternate interstate options

When nightly lane shifts or work affect a chosen path, we pivot to alternates like I-29, I-35, I-44, I-49, I-55, I-57, or I-64. Planners weigh miles, permit needs, and timing against costs.

“We validate routes against department transportation notices and send proactive alerts so crews avoid surprises.”

Permits, safety, and compliance with Missouri Department of Transportation requirements

Before any truck rolls, we lock down permits, verify dimensions, and confirm lane windows. That start reduces risk and prevents costly stops on the corridor.

We manage oversize and overweight permits and coordinate escorts in direct contact with missouri department transportation. Night closures and daytime two-lane patterns are part of the plan, so permit timing matters.

Oversize/overweight permitting and lane restrictions along the east-west corridor

Our team checks axle weights, total dimensions, and route limits before dispatch. We update permits when striping or temporary barriers change the clearance or shoulder width.

Work-zone best practices: speed, spacing, and escort coordination to protect people and equipment

Safety protocols cover speed limits, safe spacing, and real-time communication between drivers, pilot cars, and escorts. Drivers get short, focused briefings about night closures and daytime lane patterns.

• We adjust plans when department transportation notices add new constraints.
• Contingency windows account for inspections, weather, or unexpected lane shifts.
• 24/7 support provides quick route updates across neighboring states to keep your move compliant and on track.

“Clear permits and tight safety rules protect people and cargo while keeping schedules intact.”

Equipment we move and the right trailer for every load

Every piece of gear needs a tailored plan—starting with exact dimensions and the ideal trailer type. We handle common units and specialty pieces, then assign a trailer that fits route limits and permit windows.

Loaders, excavators, bulldozers, cranes, backhoes, scissor lifts, and super loads

We transport loaders, excavators, bulldozers, cranes, backhoes, scissor lifts, forklifts, super loads, and other on‑wheels vehicles. Example specs are recorded—such as a 24‑foot loader at 8 ft by 11 ft—so drivers and escorts plan turns and ramps safely.

Trailer matching by length, width, height, and weight: flatbed, step deck, RGN

Trailer selection matches length, width, height, and weight. We stage flatbed, step deck, and RGN options to lower height or spread axle weight. That helps meet permit rules and keeps freight moving across miles.

• Clearance checks: We calculate feet for bridges, barriers, and temporary lane shifts.
• Securement & handling: Each machine gets custom tie points and a handling plan to reduce stress on components.
• Loading options: Drive‑on, lift‑on, winch, or crane assist when vehicles are inoperable.

Every move is curated by a friendly logistics expert who documents specs, plans staging, and coordinates on-site crews. For more on our approach, see our equipment logistics services.

Transparent pricing that factors miles, season, and I-70 work conditions

A clear per-mile breakdown makes it easy to compare routes, trailer types, and timing. We show how the per mile rate combines with total miles to produce a full quote. That transparency helps you plan budgets and select the right services.

What to expect per mile: typical $2 to $3.50 ranges and what affects cost

Typical rates run from $2 to $3.50 per mile for oversize equipment. Price moves when trailer type, dimensions, and the season change risk or permit needs.

Winter moves often add buffers. Active road work can add time, escorts, or detours that change the cost.

Real-route examples and how work zones influence time and price

“Quotes list per mile, miles, and assumptions so you can compare apples-to-apples.”

• Transparent quote: We break down per mile, miles, and line items.
• Route math: We show where work zones add time or suggest alternates to protect cost.
• Trailer choice: RGN or step deck can avoid costly detours; flatbed may be fastest for many truck moves.
• Site prep: Optimizing access and equipment prep reduces on-site time and total cost.

Leveraging ports, lanes, and airports to keep freight moving across Missouri

Using river and runway options lets us shift freight flows off congested highways fast. That adds resilience when road windows shrink and schedules tighten.

M‑70 follows the missouri river from kansas city to st. louis, then the mississippi river toward the Ohio. That marine corridor and local ports offer staging points that reduce highway exposure during intense work windows.

Marine Highway M-70 and port advantages

Port of Kansas City and Port of St. Louis act as transfer hubs for barge moves and short hauls. Using these ports can cut over‑the‑road miles and lower risk to freight and equipment.

Air cargo options when time is critical

For urgent timelines we coordinate air cargo via STL, MCI, Springfield, Columbia, or Joplin. Long runways—12,103 feet at MCI and 11,020 feet at STL—support large freighter operations and heavy palletized cargo.

• Multimodal blending: We pair river, rail, and air to smooth bottlenecks.
• Transparent choices: We show tradeoffs for speed, cost, and handling risk.
• Equipment planning: Size and length guide feasible transfers and yard moves.

“Pairing marine and air options with road capacity keeps deliveries predictable across states.”
