Local and International Oversized Loads Transporting
An oversize load conveyance beyond the dimensions of the maximum allowable weight. This can be in the form of length, width, weight, or height. Every state has different weight and oversize dimension restrictions. HSH Trucking Services obtains the necessary licenses in every state to transport your large machinery. One permit may be sufficient for a local oversize load transit, particularly if it occurs inside the same state. However, a cross-country oversize transfer will probably require several permissions. The purpose of permits and route planning is to ensure the safety of the driver, the load, and other road users.
