Lowboy Dispatch Services for Heavy and Oversize Freight

Bonafide lowboy dispatch is billed at 6–10% of gross load revenue, quoted on your free consultation. There are no setup fees, no forced dispatch, and no contracts.

No. You set your home base, preferred lanes, minimum rate per mile, and equipment availability. We negotiate and present loads; you approve or decline every load before booking.

Lowboy trailers are engineered for heavy industrial and construction equipment—including wheel loaders, scrapers, articulated dump trucks, mining machinery, precast concrete structures, and industrial vessels. Their ultra-low deck height (18 to 24 inches) keeps tall machinery legally clear of highway bridges.

Heavy equipment distribution across the lowboy well must comply with federal and state bridge formula laws under 23 CFR § 658.17 (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-23/chapter-I/subchapter-G/part-658/section-658.17). We verify machine operating weights, track widths, and counterweight detachments to ensure steering, drive, and trailer axle groups remain within permitted tolerances.

Permitted over-width and over-length lowboy loads must display approved 'OVERSIZE LOAD' banners (18" x 7'), clean red or fluorescent orange warning flags (18" x 18") at all four corners and widest extremities, and amber warning beacons per individual state DOT permit conditions.

Most states restrict oversize lowboy movement to daylight hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset), with holiday travel bans and metropolitan morning/evening rush-hour curfews. Our dispatchers map daily mileage and pre-plan approved truck parking before curfews take effect.

Lowboy heavy-haul moves require complex route planning, permit coordination, and specialized carrier qualification. We charge our transparent standard fee of gross revenue, quoting freight on total loaded mileage, permit costs, escort reimbursements, and detention protections.
