Each unit required an entire truck. These units required very special equipment and documents to move them:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">permits in all the states they moved through, and sometimes even permits for each county like in Ohio,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">agreements to be signed,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">insurance for $1.5 million for each unit,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">each department of transport for each state defined the route that we would take because they couldn\u2019t travel down the main roads and highways,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">regular escorts and even police escorts in states like Ohio,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/freight-shipping-guide\/types-of-ftl-trucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bucket trucks<\/a> are trucks that lift the power lines over the equipment so that the trucks could pass.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We dropped the height of the pieces from 16 feet to 14 feet 9 inches by dismantling a few pieces, which still caused a lot of extra work. When loaded onto the truck, the units were still very close to the ground, literally inches off the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We moved the units 2 by 2 so 2 trucks would travel together. Once 2 units were delivered, drivers would drive back to Houston and load the next 2 units and go back and forth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started the shipment of the first 2 units in the middle of September. The final delivery happened in December 2016 so the whole project expanded over almost 3 months. It could take up to 10 days for 2 refinery units from Houston to Toledo, while the flat-bed loads would do it within one or 2 days maximum through the highway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019d like to thank our carrier partner who took exceptional care of all the permits, they handled it all, and they were exceptional!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-equipment-hauling.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy Equipment Hauling\" width=\"530\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-equipment-hauling.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-equipment-hauling-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-haul-equipment-transport.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy haul equipment transport\" width=\"530\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-haul-equipment-transport.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/heavy-haul-equipment-transport-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Project 2 \u2013 Oversized Equipment Transport<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer: Leading US manufacturer of soft drinks<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry: Food &amp; Drinks<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goal: Freightera was tasked to move heavy oversize manufacturing equipment from Montreal QC to Richmond BC Canada, September 2016<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in September 2016, a customer requested a quote for a shipment from Montreal QC to Richmond BC, but we didn\u2019t know the dimensions and what it looked like so we went to the location, took pictures to see what was on the side of the units, and took measurements of the cargo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1442 alignnone\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/oversize-manufacturing-equipment-transport.jpg\" alt=\"Oversize manufacturing equipment transport\" width=\"496\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/oversize-manufacturing-equipment-transport.jpg 496w, https:\/\/www.freightera.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/oversize-manufacturing-equipment-transport-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A crane had to hoist the units over the truck.
