Also called oversize, superload, or over dimensional trucking, heavy haul trucking is a form of trucking that focuses on delivering large loads that typically require specialized trucks and trailers. Heavy haul loads can include everything from heavy farming equipment to military equipment to industrial machinery.
Because of the size and weight of heavy haul trucking loads, there are often special regulations, considerations, and requirements that truckers need to keep in mind during delivery.
A heavy haul is a load that is beyond the regulated legal size limit on most roads. While every state has slightly different regulations that dictate what constitutes a heavy load, heavy loads are generally considered to be anything that is longer than 53 feet, wider than 8.6 feet, taller than 13.6 feet, or heavier than 80,000 pounds in gross weight. The contents of a heavy haul load can vary greatly, covering everything from heavy-duty mining equipment to airplane parts.
The best way to calculate hauling rates is on a per-mile basis. Luckily, the calculation is relatively simple. All you have to do is determine the total mileage between the start and destination points of your delivery then divide the total rate by the number of miles between those two points.
Knowing hauling rates is essential to running a successful heavy hauling business. With DAT iQ it’s easy to access the most accurate rates-per-mile data in the industry so you’re always on top of going rates, helping you stay competitive.
