Heavy equitpment or machinery only ??

Think ATS Specialized may do a good bit of that stuff though I think they also have vans, etc....have definitely seen a small convoy of ATS trucks every once in a while all pulling RGN's with Heavy Equipment on them. Best of luck in your search!

 

Where do you live. You could check daily but they might want experience also.

 

Are you an o/o? A buddy of mine pulls for trans united out of Indiana I think, and he seems happy, they don't tarp much if any ( at least he doesn't), but I believe they are an all o/o outfit..

 

ATS doesn't haul heavy equipment only.

The first one that comes to mind with me is Daily. Then there's JK Hackl, Warren, Midwest, Buchanan, Valley, Machinery Transport, Combined...etc. but I would wager that all of them require recent, verifiable experience. And companies like TMC and PGT are going to require you to drive 2 to 3 years to even get into their specialized divisions.

Most of the bigger companies are going to want to see a track record ( meaning, you're going to have to put your time in hauling sticks and bricks and steel) before they trust you with half million dollar machines. And the serious haulers, like Mammoet won't even look at you for another decade.

There are some of the small fleet, 10 trucks and less, that would hire you. The problem is with those companies is they don't have the people in the office hired on to keep an eye out on changing regs, and they may expect you to bootleg a big load. Those tickets are HUGE. How huge? Big enough to sink a small company with one hit. The boss will tell you to bootleg and he will cover any fines...but you may have to post bail if that's a really big fine. And if the boss has to choose between his company and covering the fines, don't be surprised if he doesn't.

So, if you find a gig that will let you on, I wish you well. Don't let them talk you into bootlegging a heavy load.

 

Forgot to mention Tenant and Hunt Transport.

 

There are a lot of companies like ATS among da few that do nothing but heavy equipment, Western Express isn't one of them,Flatbed division is a joke & ur right U do not want 2 fool w/the tarp & they don't pay decent on tarp pay & try 2 tell U their better than other companies that combine all da pay but their lousy at everything else 2. They hv John Deere but that's few & far between...Just keep looking I've seen a few heavy hauling jobs in da mags if I happen 2 see any & get da names I'll post it 2 U...Take Care!!!
