Over Dimensional Freight

Moving over-dimensional freight isn't as simple as loading up a trailer. OD shipments come with their own set of challenges—from understanding the specific size and weight limits to handling the permit process and planning the safest, most efficient routes. Every state and even local jurisdictions have their own rules.
