Heavy Haul Trucking Companies in Minnesota

Heavy haul freight typically includes loads that exceed standard legal size or weight limits, require specialized trailers, or need custom securement and route planning. Common examples include agricultural machinery, mining equipment, manufacturing machinery, railroad-related cargo, construction equipment, and non-standard industrial components that cannot move on a conventional dry van or flatbed.

Yes. Oversize and overweight freight moving through Minnesota generally requires the right state permits, and some loads may also need pilot cars, route surveys, or special travel restrictions. Kodiak Freight coordinates permit and escort requirements as part of the planning process, helping shippers stay aligned with DOT rules and practical route conditions.

Kodiak Freight supports a broad range of specialized equipment moves, including farm machinery, manufacturing equipment, mining machinery, data center components, and other large industrial freight. Depending on the shipment, the move may involve Landoll trailers, power-only support, crane and rigging coordination, permit planning, escort vehicles, or custom securement methods.

Pricing is based on the shipment’s dimensions, weight, origin, destination, trailer requirements, permits, escorts, loading needs, route complexity, and delivery timeline. Oversize freight often requires more planning than standard freight, so accurate measurements and equipment details help produce a more reliable quote and reduce surprises during transport.

Lead time depends on route complexity, permit requirements, escort availability, and whether specialized equipment is needed. Simple equipment moves may be arranged more quickly, while oversized, overweight, or multi-state shipments often need additional planning. Providing dimensions, weight, photos, loading details, and schedule requirements early helps streamline dispatch and permitting.

A Landoll trailer uses a hydraulic tilt deck that can load certain equipment without a separate crane. This can be useful for machinery, vehicles, and equipment that can be winched or driven onto the deck. Kodiak Freight offers Landoll transportation services when the load profile and site conditions make it an efficient fit.

Yes. Power-only service is available when a shipper already has a trailer or specialized equipment and needs a qualified tractor and driver to complete the haul. This is especially useful for drop-and-hook freight, customer-owned OD trailers, or specialized projects where the shipper controls the trailer configuration.

Kodiak Freight focuses on meticulous planning, proper securement, permit compliance, route coordination, and clear communication throughout the move. For Minnesota shipments, that planning may include seasonal road considerations, rural access, industrial site requirements, and escort coordination when needed. The goal is safe, timely delivery with the smallest details handled correctly.
