J.B. Harris Group
Heavy Haul operations

Heavy Haul.

Oversize and overweight moves on our own trucks: flatbed, stepdeck, RGN, Landoll, and dovetail, with permits, routing, and escorts handled.

A heavy haul move starts with engineering, not a truck. Before a Kobelco SK1300 leaves the yard, our routing team has measured every overpass between origin and destination, pulled permits from every state along the way, and assigned a multi-axle trailer with axle-weight distribution that matches the load. The driver gets a route binder. The lead car gets the GPS markers. The customer gets a window — usually four hours, longer when daylight-only restrictions apply.

We run the heaviest moves on our own equipment: 13-axle stretches, 19-axle dual-lane modular trailers, 9-axle RGNs, dollies and steerables for loads past 200 feet. Permits in-house, lead and pole cars in-house, police escort coordination in-house. Nothing brokered. The driver who picks up the load is the driver who delivers it.

There's a category of move we won't take: ones where the route engineering doesn't pencil. If the only legal path between your origin and our destination crosses a bridge that hasn't been load-rated since 1986, we'll tell you on day one — not after we've already booked the trailer.

HOW WE WORK

Quote to delivery, one ops team.

  1. 1

    Send the specs

    Equipment, weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and any site constraints. A spec sheet or photo helps — but a phone call works too.

  2. 2

    We engineer the move

    A JBH operations engineer routes it — bridges, restrictions, low clearance — prices permits, picks equipment, and assigns the driver. Quote back in 4 business hours.

  3. 3

    We dispatch and track

    Our truck, our driver, our dispatcher on the BOL. You get one point of contact and status from pickup to signed POD.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What you can count on.

  • Engineer-quoted rates

    Routed by a person, not an algorithm — permits and escorts priced in, not added later.

  • Asset-based capacity

    Our trucks and trailers. We don't broker the hard ones out to a stranger.

  • One ops team

    The dispatcher who quotes your load is the one who runs it — no brokered re-handoffs.

  • Live dispatch, 24/7

    A real agent answers — never voicemail — for the life of the move.

FAQ

Heavy Haul — common questions.

How fast can I get a heavy haul quote?

Send the details through the quote form or email quotes@jbharrisgroup.com. We come back with a rate, route, permits, and timing. For urgent moves, call 770-251-8921.

Is JBH asset-based or a broker?

Both. JBH runs 35 company trucks with a full trailer mix out of our Equipment Processing Centers, and a vetted carrier network for everything else. Oversize and heavy moves run on our own authority.

Does JBH handle permits and escorts for heavy haul?

Yes — permits and pilot-car/escort coordination are handled in-house across the jurisdictions we run, and priced into the quote up front.

What information do you need to start?

Equipment or commodity, weight, overall dimensions, origin and destination, any site constraints (overhead, access, security), and your required pickup window. A spec sheet or photo is helpful but not required.

Got a heavy haul move in the planning?

Tell dispatch what you're moving and where. Engineer-quoted rate back in hours, not days — route, permits, equipment, and ETA window included.
