Heavy haul / Over Size only...please.

That depends on who is booking the load. Routed miles will always be more than the load pays, some times its a huge difference. One load I did (16' tall) was 1100 miles from OK/TX line on Hwy 287 to Houston! The states pick the routes so your at their mercy. I have said many times $10 per mile means nothing in HH.

 

Then add the DH miles, and then the money don't look so good. I pull a 4 axle DD stretch trl. and make a decent living running about 60,000 miles per year. I'm really picky~ I'll sit for a week or more to get a load I can make money on.

 

I base my rates on the route i will travel not pratical or other wise, if the truck runs 500 miles loaded thats what i base my rate on plus i try to squeze on a little extra if i have to dead head more than usual

 

hhmg? what the heck is that!! (just kidding i know what it is) been in the heavy haul business for 4 generations of family. You learn quick to bid loads righ or be broke #### fast.. but some people never learn.

 

If you do your own permiting like I do.I just call the state with h-w and weight and ask them what routes they are going to give me from point to point before I quote it.
Most are of them are happy to do it.
I sure will be glad when all this Obama money gets used up so I can get back on the big roads

 

I'm sorry, when I read heavy haul & oversize, I thought you wanted to know something about my mother in law. just adding some humor. take no offense.

 

How do yall go about obtaining an oversize or overweight permit in each state i had a load going to louisiana last week and when i called the state number thay said i would have to drive to baton rouge and pay for it first
Who do you guys use to get all your state permits
