Common Heavy Haul Routes in Florida
Florida’s main freight arteries — I-95, I-75, I-10, US-27, and Florida’s Turnpike — connect key hubs like Miami, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Pensacola. These routes support the movement of construction equipment, agricultural freight, and industrial components statewide and beyond.
At American Heavy Haul, our logistics team uses FDOT-approved data, GPS tracking, and advanced route planning systems to move oversize and overweight freight safely and efficiently across the Sunshine State.
We consider bridge weight limits, height restrictions, and permit curfews, ensuring each shipment complies with all FDOT and U.S. DOT transport regulations.
Whether moving turbines to the Port of Jacksonville, construction equipment through Miami, or agricultural machinery across I-75, we handle every permit, pilot car, and routing detail to keep your freight on time and compliant.

Our logistics coverage includes Florida’s major ports and industrial corridors — Port of Miami, Port Tampa Bay, Port Everglades, Port Jacksonville, and Port Canaveral.
We haul cranes, generators, turbines, and heavy construction machinery to and from these terminals daily.
American Heavy Haul supports Florida’s construction, energy, and shipping sectors, bridging seaports, inland warehouses, and job sites with reliable, insured transport operations that meet all FDOT and DOT standards.
Trailer Types for Florida Heavy Haul Transport
Every load in Florida requires the right trailer type for safety, balance, and compliance. Our modern fleet can handle all load types — from small agricultural machinery to massive industrial equipment.
Our trailer lineup includes:
Flatbed Trailers: For building materials, crated loads, and standard freight
Step Deck Trailers: Designed for taller or mid-size equipment
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers: Ideal for excavators, dozers, and wheeled machinery
Double Drop & Extendable Trailers: Used for turbines, beams, or extra-long components
Hot Shot Trailers: Flexible, fast service for smaller or urgent deliveries
Each trailer is DOT-certified, regularly inspected, and equipped with secure tie-downs and ramps. Our dispatchers select the perfect trailer configuration based on your freight’s weight, size, and travel route.
Route Planning & Load Tracking Technology
We use GPS monitoring, FDOT mapping systems, and digital load management tools to plan and track each shipment across Florida’s highways and ports.
Our routing experts calculate bridge clearances, turning radii, axle weights, and restricted zones to guarantee safe, compliant delivery.
Once your shipment is on the move, you’ll receive real-time tracking, ETA updates, and 24/7 dispatch communication — ensuring you always know where your freight is and when it’ll arrive.
This technology-driven transparency is what makes American Heavy Haul a trusted name in Florida’s heavy equipment transportation industry.
