How Buchanan Logistics Delivered an 18’5” Wide, 136,000 Pound Steel Vessel with Precision

Moving industrial freight is not routine when the load measures 18 feet 5 inches wide, 11 feet 2 inches tall, and weighs 136,000 pounds. That is where experienced heavy haul transportation services matter.

Buchanan Logistics recently coordinated the transport of a steel vessel generator from Princeton, Indiana into Illinois. This oversized load required multi-state permits, police escort coordination, route planning, and careful compliance with over dimensional freight regulations.

Heavy Haul Planning That Protects Your Timeline

  • Route surveys and clearance verification
  • Bridge weight analysis
  • State-by-state permit acquisition
  • Escort vehicle scheduling
  • Communication with local authorities
  • Safety review and load securement inspection

As an Indiana logistics company with strong Midwest coverage, Buchanan manages these details before the truck ever moves. That preparation protects delivery windows and prevents costly delays.
