What information do I need for a heavy haul transport quote?

We also request your personal information, such as name, email, and phone number. Noting any unique characteristics or attachments helps us determine the right trailer type and plan for proper securing methods.
How far in advance should I book heavy equipment transportation?
For optimal scheduling and equipment availability, we recommend requesting a quote as early as possible, especially for oversize loads requiring special permits and routes. During peak seasons, earlier quote requests help secure preferred scheduling and ensure smooth coordination of your heavy haul needs.
Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?
Yes, we require a responsible party (you or your designee) to be present at both pickup and delivery to inspect the equipment and verify its condition. This protects both parties and ensures proper documentation.
If you cannot be present, you can designate an authorized representative. Please ensure the designated person has the authority to release or accept the equipment.
