When freight gets bigger, heavier, wider, taller, or more complicated, transportation stops being about simply finding a truck.
Heavy Haul Transportation: It becomes a project.
At Transtorres, a Landstar agent, heavy haul transportation and specialized transportation are a major part of what we do. Through our relationship with Landstar and access to its extensive transportation network, we can help customers solve complex freight challenges across North America.
From standard flatbed freight to oversized and overweight project cargo, our job is simple: Find the right solution, build the plan, and execute the move.

Recent Project: Autoclave from CA-WI
A recent project is a perfect example.
Our customer needed to transport a piece measuring approximately:
45 feet long × 12 feet wide × 12 feet high
with a weight of approximately:
80,000 pounds.
This wasn't a load you could put on a standard flatbed and send down the highway.
The dimensions and weight required specialized equipment, careful planning, and coordination throughout the move.
For this shipment, we utilized a double-drop extendable trailer, giving us the configuration necessary to accommodate the length and dimensions of the cargo while developing a transportation plan around the shipment's overall size and weight.
Projects like this demonstrate why heavy haul is about much more than equipment.
It's about coordination.
The Power of the Landstar Network
One of our biggest advantages is our ability to operate as a Landstar agent.
Customers work directly with the Transtorres team while we leverage the capabilities and resources available through the Landstar network.
That combination is powerful.
You get the responsiveness and personal attention of a team that knows your freight, combined with access to a much larger transportation network.
For specialized projects, that reach matters.
The correct solution could require a flatbed, step deck, double drop, extendable trailer, removable gooseneck, multi-axle configuration, or another specialized setup.
Instead of approaching every shipment with one piece of equipment and trying to make the freight fit the truck, we approach it from the opposite direction:
Understand the freight and then build the right transportation solution around it.
From Heavy Machinery to Oversized Project Cargo
Transtorres handles transportation across a wide range of equipment and freight types, including heavy haul and oversized shipments. Our broader transportation capabilities also include full truckload, flatbed, expedited, hazmat, reefer, LTL, and additional logistics services.
But specialized freight is where experience, communication, and access to the right resources become especially important.
Whether we're moving industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment, construction components, oversized crates, or unusual project cargo, our team is prepared to evaluate the shipment and develop a solution.
We've handled challenging oversized freight before, and we're continuing to expand what we can do. Our philosophy is straightforward:
If it can legally and safely move over the road, we want the opportunity to figure out how to move it.

One Call. One Team. A Massive Network Behind Us.
Customers shouldn't have to become heavy-haul experts just because they have an unusual shipment.
That's our job.
Send us the dimensions, weight, origin, destination, loading requirements, and any photos or drawings available. Our team can take it from there.
We'll evaluate the freight, determine the equipment requirements, work through the transportation details, and coordinate the resources needed to execute the move.
That's the advantage of working with Transtorres as your Landstar agent:
A responsive logistics team you can call directly, backed by the capabilities of the Landstar network.
Bring us the challenge.
