The Challenge: Shipping a Kenworth Truck Through Heavy Snow
A client needed to transport their 1997 Kenworth W 900 B fuel tank truck from Akron, New York, to Whittier, North Carolina. However, the transport had to take place during heavy winter snowfall, creating a major challenge for safe and efficient shipping. The 764-mile journey presented unpredictable road conditions, requiring expert handling to avoid delays and ensure the truck arrived securely and on time.

The Extreme Weather Kenworth Truck Transport Strategy
Heavy Haulers' extreme weather transport specialist, Andrew Raucci, took on the challenge. With years of experience handling oversized vehicle transport in harsh conditions, Andrew carefully assessed the Kenworth truck’s weight, size, and road limitations. He determined that a drop deck trailer was the best choice for the job.
The 19,200-pound truck, measuring 10.5 feet wide, required special permits for interstate transport. Andrew expedited the paperwork while strategizing the safest and most efficient route. Because of ongoing snowfall, the shipment was given a flexible timeline to allow for reroutes and weather-related delays when necessary.

The Customized Kenworth Winter Hauling Solution
Transporting a heavy-duty truck in extreme winter conditions requires expert planning and execution. Safety was the top priority, so Andrew selected an experienced driver and load handler for the job.
To ensure stability during transport, the truck was loaded using ramps and secured with heavy-duty chain tie-downs. With snowfall accumulating, Andrew monitored the journey using Heavy Haulers’ state-of-the-art dispatch system, adjusting the route as needed to avoid dangerous road conditions.
Winter trucking presents unique challenges, so Andrew accounted for key factors, including:
- • Cold temperatures affecting tire traction and fuel efficiency
- • Route changes due to ice and snow accumulation
- • Heavy holiday traffic causing unexpected slowdowns
- • Emergency preparedness with recovery measures in place
By anticipating these challenges, Andrew ensured a cost-efficient and safe Kenworth truck transport without risking the cargo’s integrity.

Thanks to Andrew’s expertise and proactive logistics coordination, the Kenworth W 900 B was successfully delivered to Whittier, NC, on time and in perfect condition.
Despite the harsh winter conditions, the experienced Heavy Haulers driver navigated the snowy highways with precision, ensuring a smooth and secure delivery.
