HEAVY HAUL/OVER DIMENSIONAL SHIPPING

Heavy haul or over-dimensional shipping refers to the transportation of cargo that exceeds the standard legal size or weight limits for a specific road or highway. Such cargo is usually too tall, too wide, too heavy, or a combination of these to fit within the regulations. This type of transportation often requires specialized routing, equipment, and permits due to its complexity.
