Heavy Haulers

You should try Keen transportation. They require previous heavy haul and flatbed experience. Runningman0661 drove for them hopefully he will see this and give you some insight on them

 

Define "real" Heavy Haul.

 

If you mean the folks that haul 300,000# or better. Well, those firms are few. We do a lot of oversize work. Mainly all equipment for mining and construction we take is OS.

 

Yeah you do need to define 'heavy hauler'. Ive worked for lonestar trans since 94 and we do a lot of big stuff but most HEAVY haulers are small outfits and theres not alot of good ones. We do quite a bit of cat machinery and dabble in JD some too but for the most part its wind energy. Ive been under a schnabble rig for a while now and its pretty challenging. Easier than when its started and they didnt have this equipment though. Look at Lonestar, ATS (anderson), Heavy transport, STS out of san antonio, tx or maybe bennett or Keen. There's others but thats the HEAVY ones i can think of right now

Almost forgot, if you dont mind running canada all year long and particularly the western region you could try westfreight. They do alot of flatbed ltl and curtainsides but they have some heavy haul trucks. I ran into some up in montana that were scalin bout 190,000 if thats heavy enough.

 

I worked for Keen. Shawn Keen was my dispatcher. Great outfit to work for.

 

Guy M. Turner in Greensboro, N.C. and Diamond heavy haul in OH. they have the dual lane perimeter 13- 20 axle stuff. check there websites.

 

since you know all these cats, what's the requirements for getting on with say, turner, diamond etc. not calling you out or anyhing, i've always been interested in heavy haul.
If a person has to have heavy experience, were could you get that experience? I pulled flat for a year and a half with some oversize loads.
knowing this probably isn't enough exp.

thanks,
