When your cargo goes beyond standard limits, you need more than a truck — you need precision planning, specialized equipment, and regulatory expertise. At Freight Guru, we provide trusted Oversize & Overweight freight solutions tailored for the toughest transport challenges. From massive machinery to wide, tall, or ultra-heavy components, we move what others can’t — and do it with confidence.
What Counts as Oversize or Overweight Freight?
Not all freight fits within traditional legal dimensions or weight restrictions. Here’s how it’s defined:
- Oversize Loads: Exceed legal width (typically 8.5 ft), height (13.5–14 ft), or length limits
- Overweight Loads: Exceed the allowable weight (typically 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight)
If your cargo is outside these limits, it qualifies as an oversize or overweight load — and requires special handling, permits, escorts, and route planning. That’s where Freight Guru comes in.
End-to-End Oversize & Overweight Freight Management — From Permits to Delivery
Oversize and overweight shipping is complex — but we make it easy. Here’s how Freight Guru simplifies every step:
🗺️ Route Planning & Road Surveys
We analyze every route for bridge clearances, load limits, and road conditions to ensure safe passage.

🚨 Escort & Pilot Vehicle Coordination
We arrange escorts where required for safety and legal compliance, including lead, chase, and police vehicles.

We select the right trailers — like lowboys, RGNs, extendables, and multi-axle setups — based on your load’s size and weight.
🔒 Securement & Safety Oversight
Proper tie-down methods, load distribution, and safety protocols are strictly followed to protect your cargo.
