Lowboy transport is the most technically demanding segment of trucking — and the most lucrative. Moving heavy construction equipment, industrial machinery, and military vehicles on a lowboy or RGN requires specialized permitting, route surveys, pilot car coordination, and superload planning that goes far beyond anything a general dispatcher can handle. ATC Dispatching's heavy haul team has years of experience moving equipment on 35-ton, 55-ton, and 100-ton configurations with all the compliance complexity that entails.
We don't just find loads — we build a comprehensive dispatch operation around your equipment, your lanes, and your business goals.
Excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and large mining equipment move on lowboys. We have direct relationships with equipment rental companies, contractors, and auction houses who need regular transport.
Loads over 200,000 lbs or exceeding standard OS/OW dimensions require engineering route surveys and superload permits. Our compliance team manages the entire process.
Heavy haul loads often require 1–4 pilot cars depending on dimensions and state requirements. We coordinate all escort vehicles, communication, and routing briefings.
Our team coordinates bridge analysis reports for loads that approach or exceed bridge weight ratings — a critical step that's often overlooked by less experienced dispatchers.
Many states restrict heavy haul movements to daylight hours or specific travel windows. We build your schedule around these restrictions to maximize working hours.
Lowboy loads pay significantly more per mile than general freight. We maintain relationships with construction companies, equipment dealers, and auction companies who move equipment regularly.
We earn a percentage of your gross load revenue. When you earn more, we earn more. Our incentives are perfectly aligned with yours.

A lowboy trailer (RGN, fixed-neck, or detachable gooseneck) with appropriate weight rating. Common configurations are 35-ton, 55-ton, and 100-ton. Your semi-tractor must also be appropriately spec'd for heavy haul operations.
Yes. Our compliance team coordinates single-trip permits, annual blanket permits where applicable, superload permits, route surveys, and bridge analysis reports across all 48 states.
Excavators, bulldozers, graders, scrapers, cranes, mobile generators, large military vehicles, transformers, and mining equipment. We have consistent freight in all of these categories.
8%–10% of gross load revenue. Lowboy loads are the most complex in trucking, and our rate reflects the permitting, coordination, and expertise required. We discuss the exact rate upfront based on your fleet size and operation.
Standard OS/OW permits can often be obtained same-day or next-day. Superloads requiring engineering analysis can take 5–14 business days. We factor permitting timelines into load scheduling.
