Optimize Oversize Load Hauling & Traffic Management with Compare Transport LLC

Traffic Construction

At Compare Transport LLC, we specialize in helping trucking professionals navigate the complexities of transporting oversize and overweight loads across the U.S. Our deep understanding of federal, state, and local regulations ensures safe, efficient, and compliant delivery especially through challenging Traffic Construction zones and urban areas. Whether you’re hauling superloads, heavy machinery, or building materials, we make your journey smoother with expert route planning, permit handling, and traffic coordination.

Key Elements of Oversize Load Transport

Permits: Before hitting the road, it’s essential to secure proper oversize or overweight permits. At Compare Transport LLC, we simplify this process by handling everything from route details and axle configuration to timeframe and dimensions. Some areas may require additional city or local clearances, which we can obtain on your behalf.
Route Planning: Route selection is critical when transporting large loads. We help you plan around:

  • Bridge and overpass height limits
  • Construction zones
  • Restricted or weight-limited roads
  • Sharp turns and narrow lanes
    Advance planning reduces the risk of fines, delays, and damage.

Escort Vehicles: Many oversize loads legally require pilot cars or escort vehicles. These vehicles guide your truck, warn other drivers, and ensure you stay compliant while navigating tricky zones like intersections, tight turns, or urban construction.

Traffic Control: Uncoordinated oversize travel can disrupt traffic. Our team creates customized traffic control plans that may include:

  • Temporary lane closures
  • Night-only or weekend-only restrictions
  • Required law enforcement escorts
  • Coordination with local traffic authorities

Visibility and Safety Markings: Oversize vehicles must be clearly visible to all drivers. We ensure your equipment is fitted with:

  • Flashing amber lights or beacons
  • Rear clearance lights (red or amber)
  • “Oversize Load” banners or warning flags

These markings are legally required in most states and help prevent accidents.

Communication & Coordination: Real-time communication between drivers, dispatch, pilot cars, and DOT officials keeps your haul on track. We manage all communications to keep you updated and compliant—even when route changes are needed mid-journey.
