Whether hauling a replica Viking ship, a statue of Abraham Lincoln or one of these other specialized hauls, we’ve got you covered.
The careful coordination needed to move a replica Viking ship across the country required an expert in Heavy/Specialized transportation.
Heavy or specialized loads present their own unique set of challenges for shippers handling cross-border trade. Pre-trip planning on this type of freight is critical.
Moving this 26-foot tall, 34,000-pound statue of Marilyn Monroe, called for just one owner-operator with many years of experience.
It would be impossible to haul an entire ship on a truck, even for the most experienced owner-operator with a super heavy duty truck, but Joe Donovan, Landstar business capacity owner (BCO), Million Mile Safe Driver and Roadstar® honoree, came close.
Landstar’s Vice President and Chief Safety & Operations Officer Joe Beacom explains the qualifications a shipper should look for when choosing a Heavy/Specialized carrier in this podcast from Inbound Logistics.
When Landstar had to move oversized freight through five states, it developed and executed a plan for a safe delivery.
Landstar’s Vice President and Chief Safety & Operations Officer Joe Beacom answered a few questions about choosing a Heavy/Specialized carrier in the September issue of Inbound Logistics.
The creator turned to independent Landstar agency WW Transport Inc. and Landstar Business Capacity Owner (BCO) Ronald Shaw, who has 21 years of experience hauling heavy and overdimensional freight with his double-drop trailer.
