Super Heavy Haul Trucking: 100,000 to Over 1,000,000 Pounds

Bennett Family of Companies transports super heavy haul freight ranging from 100,000 pounds to over 1,000,000 pounds, using a national network of specialized carriers, multi-axle transporters, and in-house permitting experts. Bennett has moved cargo as heavy as 1.3 million pounds (BOSS Heavy Haul) and has coordinated the transport of all six U.S. Space Shuttles, 19 times, through affiliate Contractors Cargo Company — making it one of the few carrier networks in North America qualified to handle freight at this scale.

This page covers what super heavy haul trucking is, the equipment and capacity behind it, the industries Bennett serves, and answers to the questions shippers ask most before booking a move.

What Counts as Super Heavy Haul?

Super heavy haul is the freight category above standard oversized/heavy haul — typically cargo starting around 100,000 pounds and running past 1,000,000 pounds — that requires multi-axle trailers, engineering review, and multi-state permitting to move legally and safely. Common examples include transformers, reactor vessels, mining equipment, aerospace structures, and large industrial modules.

Bennett handles this category through its own BOSS Heavy Haul division and a vetted network of specialized carrier partners, so a shipper can move a 150,000-lb transformer or a 900-ton industrial module through the same point of contact.
