A successful haul depends on the load’s weight, the right trailer and axle configuration, and a workable route into the pickup and delivery sites.
Based in nearby Gladewater, Southern Transport helps Tyler-area companies plan heavy equipment moves throughout East Texas and beyond. With IH 20 running north of Tyler, we consider both the highway route and the roads and site conditions at either end of the trip.
Plant entrances, rural jobsites, bridge limits, railroad crossings, and loading conditions can all affect the route and equipment needed to get your heavy load onto IH 20.

Tell us what you need to move and where it needs to go. Our team can review the load and determine the equipment and planning it requires.
A heavy load may need a lower deck, additional axles, loading clearance, or a trailer designed to distribute concentrated weight. The right choice depends on the equipment and the full route, including access at both sites.
