These trucks transport heavy loads and therefore need special handling, optimized routing and many permits. Due to the heavy load, size and weight, the driver can’t just go out on the road from one place to another as they might have with a regular cargo load.
What Is Heavy Load?
Cargo is classified as a heavy load if it exceeds-
- 80,000 pounds of gross vehicle weight.
- 20,000 pounds of single axle weight.
- 34,000 pounds of tandem axle weight.
Restrictions For Heavy-Hauling
Heavy-haul trucking requires proper documentation and permitting. Fleet managers need to get the permits before they send the drivers out on the road with the load. Depending on the commodity shipping as the heavy load, there could be added permits required for the cargo as well. Different states, cities, and counties will restrict the amount of time an oversized freight can travel and during what hours of the day.
Additional Requirements For Heavy-Haul Trucking
Heavy-haul trucking can require drivers to take special routes and power lines may need to be lifted or obstacles may need to be removed. Even without these kinds of special considerations, though, there are some added requirements typical of oversized and overweight loads.
