Shipping any oversize and overweight load should be left to professionals like Heavy Haulers. A transport company with resources, experience and manpower. William Tomassso, one of our experienced agents was assigned to transport an R-140 tank L16 W16 and H16.4. It was to be picked in Dequincy, LA and delivered to Houston, TX. Having shipped similar oversize and overweight loads in the past, William Thomas knew how to go about the process. The legal height limit in the states of California and Texas is 14’. Therefore, William Thomas had to start by acquiring shipping permits so that the R-140 tank L16 W16 and H16.4 would be shipped through public roads. On the way to Texas, the R-140 tank L16 W16 and H16.4 had to pass through the states of Arizona and New Mexico whose legal height limits are also 14’. He had to apply for shipping permits to pass through each of these states. Having a shipping permit means that on the date of transport, the roads are cleared so that the oversize weight can fit through without any complications.
While William Thomas waited for the shipping permits, he worked on the paperwork and fully insured the R-140 tank L16 W16 and H16.4. He also made arrangements to have the driver, crane operators and rigging crew assemble at the pick up location during the transport date. Eventually, he got the shipping permits and on the transport date, he was present during the loading process. After looking at the size and weight of the R-140 tank, William Thomas decided that a lowboy trailer was the most suitable for transport. During the loading process, the rigging crew guided the crane operator on where to place the oversize/overweight load. After it was strategically positioned, ladders were used to help in the securing process. With everything ready, William Thomas dispatched the shipment and advised the drivers to use route I-10 E because it was the fastest and most convenient.
From years of experience, our drivers know that regular integrity checks are mandatory to adjust the straps holding the oversize/overweight load as they easily become loose due to too much movement. Transporting oversize/overweight loads with William Thomas is stress free because he does all the work. A specific agent like William Thomas is assigned to your shipment and you can communicate with them all through the shipment for updates. Our oversize/overweight transport services are affordable without any hidden fees. After hours of being on the road, the R-140 tank L16 W16 and H16.4 eventually got to the drop off location. William Thomas had arranged to have a team of crane operators and rigger men to help with the unloading process which was successful.
