Heavy haul trucking is the hauling of oversize or overweight freight. Generally, shipping heavy equipment will require specialized trailers that can haul over dimensional or overweight cargo. Heavy equipment hauling requires essential attention to detail and care for a safe travel. Several areas will require a pilot/escort service vehicle to travel in conjunction with the truck to ensure safety for everyone involved. Inventory may include boats, construction equipment, tractors, and much more. Equipment for heavy haul trucking may as well include flatbeds, step deck, double drop, removable gooseneck (RGN), and multiple axles.
When you choose Just Ship It Logistics, you can be sure that all your heavy haul trucking will be handled smoothly and professionally by our reputable team. We prioritize industry knowledge and continuously stay up to date on ways to make your freight experience as perfect as possible.
Legal Dimensions
Heavy haul trucks are heavy-duty tractors paired with specialized trailers built for oversize and overweight freight that a standard truck can’t legally carry.
The trailer is what matters most, and choosing the right one is our job, not yours.
Here’s what we match your freight to: Flatbed. For machinery parts, steel and building materials that fit within standard height limits.
Step deck. For taller equipment that needs extra clearance without a height permit. Double drop / lowboy.
For tall, heavy machines where every centimetre of height counts. RGN (removable gooseneck).
For equipment that drives on: loaders, dozers, excavators. Multi-axle.
For the heaviest loads, with the weight spread out to stay legal from province to province and across the border into the U.S. Tell us what you’re moving.
We’ll handle the rest.
Send us the dimensions, weight and destination, and we’ll match the right truck and trailer, arrange the permits, and give you a clear quote.

Ontario
From Toronto and the GTA to Barrie, Hamilton, London and Northern Ontario, we move heavy equipment for construction, manufacturing, mining and energy projects. We work with experienced heavy haul carriers in Ontario who know the province’s permit rules, bridge restrictions and seasonal load limits.
Quebec
Moving oversize freight in or out of Montreal, Quebec City or across the province? We coordinate Quebec permits and plan routes that account for the province’s own rules, so your load moves smoothly between Ontario and Quebec.
Western Canada
Heavy haul from Ontario to Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia means crossing several provinces, each with its own permits and escort requirements. We handle every one of them, so you deal with one team for the whole trip.
Atlantic Canada
We also plan heavy haul moves to and from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the rest of Atlantic Canada.
Canada-U.S. Cross-Border
Heavy equipment going to or from the U.S. needs permits on both sides, the right border crossing and customs paperwork. We plan the full route, from pickup to final delivery, so your load doesn’t sit at the border.
Don’t see your lane? Ask us. If it’s oversize or overweight, we’ll find a way to move it.
Heavy haul trucking transit time is impacted by factors including distance, route, dimensions, customs, and season. In very rough estimates: Heavy haul trucking can take anywhere between 1-2 business days.
As for cost, each case is unique depending on the listed requirements, feel free to give us a call to help you determine the best option for the best possible price.

The freight is side loaded from ground level, using proper materials, such as tarps, chains, or corner protectors to ensure safety and protection for your cargo.
Once the shipment is safely loaded onto a flatbed trailer, one of our trusted staff will carefully transport your freight to it’s desired destination.
Once the freight has arrived at the selected stop, it is then unloaded by a crane or a forklift to the customer’s warehouse.
We help get your freight shipment to its destination while taking advantage of cost-saving opportunities. Get in touch with us today for more information on all your freight needs.
Moving oversize freight takes skill most drivers don't have. Securing a 30-tonne excavator or planning a route around low bridges takes years of experience. We work only with carriers who specialize in heavy haul and have the right equipment, insurance and track record for your type of load.
Yes. Spring and summer are the busiest months because construction, paving and infrastructure projects are in full swing. Specialized trailers and experienced drivers get booked up quickly. If your project runs in peak season, reach out early so we can lock in capacity and keep your timeline on track.
Fuel is one of the biggest costs in heavy haul, especially for heavy loads over long distances. When diesel prices rise, carriers adjust their rates. We'll explain how fuel is included in your quote upfront, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Talk of trucking strikes comes up regularly on social media, but it rarely affects actual freight movement. If anything does disrupt a lane, we work with a network of carriers, so we can find alternatives and keep your load moving. We'll keep you updated if anything changes.
