Moving oversized freight isn’t just abouthorsepower or equipment—it’s about judgment, planning, and a steady hand thatknows what can go wrong long before the engine starts. At Cowtown Express,heavy haul trucking has become one of those things we do so often and so wellthat it feels almost second nature. Still, every load is its own story, and weapproach each haul with the respect and attention it deserves.
Whether you’re moving constructionmachines, industrial components, massive energy equipment, or something thatsimply doesn’t fit inside a regular trailer, our team brings decades ofexperience to the work. The goal is always the same: deliver the heavy loadsafely, on time, and without unnecessary complications.
Heavy Haul Doesn’t Mean One-Size-Fits-All
Oversized loads break the normal rules oftrucking. Routes must be checked and re-checked, weather matters more thanusual, and clearances, axle weight, permits, and timing all have to line upperfectly. We’ve built our process around the reality that no two heavy haulshipments are identical.
At Cowtown Express, we tailor each haulby:
● Choosing the right trailerconfiguration
● Mapping the safest, most reliableroute
● Coordinating escorts or pilot carswhen required
● Securing all state and localpermits
● Scheduling departures to avoidtraffic restrictions and safety barriers
The result is a shipping experience thatfeels less like guesswork and more like a controlled, well-managed operation.
The Equipment That Makes It Possible
When people talk about heavy haultrucking, much of the focus falls on the equipment—and for good reason. Ourfleet includes a wide range of lowboys, RGNs, extendable trailers, multi-axlesetups, and super heavy haul trucks designed for extreme loads. Thesetrucks are built with reinforced frames, advanced suspension systems, andpowerful engines capable of pulling weights that would stop a standard tractorin its tracks.
But the equipment is only half the story.
The operators behind those machines areindustry veterans who understand how to maneuver them safely across highways,job sites, refineries, and remote industrial locations. They know how tocommunicate, what to watch for, and when a route needs to be changed on thefly.
Heavy Haul Knowledge From a Team You Can Trust
Clients often come to us after beingbounced around between carriers that treat heavy haul like an occasionaladd-on. What we offer is something more grounded. Our team has spent yearsworking with manufacturers, construction firms, engineering companies, energyoperations, and other sectors that depend on reliable heavy freight movement.
From the first call, you get a projectmanager who listens carefully, confirms measurements, understands yourshipment’s sensitivity, and builds a transport plan that fits your timeline andconstraints. The aim isn’t just to haul freight—it’s to make the shippingprocess less stressful and more predictable.
Connections That Reach Beyond State Lines
Cowtown Express has grown its networkwidely over the years, including strong working relationships with freightforwarders in Dallas, regional carriers, and national logistics partners.These connections allow us to coordinate challenging multi-leg shipments,international arrivals, or time-critical moves that require tight communicationacross teams.
If your haul needs specialized craneservices, storage, or synchronized loading with another provider, we’re used tohandling those moving pieces.

● Oil and gas equipment

Drivers maintain constant communication with dispatch. Loadsare inspected repeatedly, and our team complies with DOT and state-specificrules on every haul.
Our philosophy is simple: a heavy haulshipment that isn’t safe is a shipment that shouldn’t move.
