You might also look at construction and farm equipment dealers. many of them haul and deliver the equipment they sell and service.
I had two different friends went to work pulling lowboys for the john deere dealer in fairbanks, and for over a year they burn't the highway up between Alaska and the manufacturer.
Best way to get into oversize hauling??

If in TX get on with this company and start from the ground floor and if you survive to become one of the top drivers you'll have it made.
These guys haul out of one of our customers.

The other day when I was heading to work there was a really long pre formed piece of concrete being towed up 60 (no trailer, hooked at 5th wheel and had a dolly type thing under the rear of it). When they went to get on 75N they couldn't make the turn because of the construction going on. I never knew this but they were able to stop the truck and steer the dolly at the back to get it around the turn, it was really cool to watch.D.Tibbitt, BigDog Trucker, Lepton1 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Some of the dollys/trucks have a little cab area for the rear driver not so similar to the old fire hook and ladder trucks.
You can see the cradle that pivots under the tanks legs.
Couple more shots.

I'm thinking pusher truck as well.
That is one serious move and several hours of tie down if not a day involved.
