While standard auto transport trailers are designed to maximize space by packing standard sedans and small SUVs tightly together, oversized vehicles don't fit that mold.
Truck and oversized transport is a highly specialized service for vehicles that exceed standard weight, height, or width limits. Whether you are shipping a Ford F-350 Dually, a lifted Jeep Wrangler, a Mercedes Sprinter van, or a custom show truck, these vehicles require specialized equipment—such as flatbed trailers, step-deck trailers, or heavy-duty open haulers—to ensure they are transported legally and safely.
Because these non-standard vehicles take up more physical space and weight on a trailer, they reduce the number of other vehicles a carrier can take. Therefore, specialized transport involves custom logistical planning and a higher cost.
Ford F-150/250/350, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500/2500/3500.
Trucks or SUVs with aftermarket lift kits, oversized off-road tires, or heavy-duty roof racks.
Trucks with dual rear wheels that are too wide for standard trailer ramps.
Passenger vans, utility vans, and high-roof Sprinter or Transit vans.
Heavy vehicles that cannot start or steer, requiring heavy-duty winches to load.
RVs and off-road recreational vehicles that require specialized heavy-haul equipment.
Shipping a massive vehicle requires precision. We've simplified the process into three easy steps.
It is important to understand why moving a truck is fundamentally different from moving a sedan.
Commercial auto carriers must strictly obey DOT weight limits. A standard sedan weighs about 3,000 lbs, whereas a heavy-duty truck can weigh 7,000 to 8,000 lbs. One truck can take up the weight allowance of two or three cars.
Standard multi-level carriers have low clearance between the upper and lower decks. A high-roof van or lifted truck cannot physically fit on a standard open carrier without risking severe roof damage or violating bridge height laws.
Heavy-duty trucks require commercial-grade ratchet straps, heavy-duty chains, and customized dunnage to prevent shifting during transit.
Because trucks are heavier, taller, and take up the space of multiple standard cars, the cost to ship an oversized vehicle is higher than shipping a standard sedan.
Your price will be calculated based on the total distance, the specific type of trailer required, and the exact weight and dimensions of your vehicle.
Once we gather your vehicle's exact specifications and provide you with a quote, that number is locked in. We operate on a “The Price You See is the Price You Pay” guarantee. No hidden heavy-haul fees, no last-minute weight surcharges.

FAQs About Truck & Oversized Vehicle Transport
Auto transport pricing is heavily based on the space and weight a vehicle takes up on a trailer. A lifted F-250 may take up the physical space and weight allowance of two Honda Civics. Because the carrier is hauling fewer total vehicles, the cost is dispersed differently.
Absolutely. However, you must inform us of these modifications before booking. Lift kits and oversized tires change the height and width of the vehicle, which means it will likely require a specialized flatbed or step-deck trailer instead of a standard multi-level car hauler.
No. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations prohibit auto carriers from transporting household goods, loose items, or heavy equipment in the bed of a truck. All items must be removed prior to shipping.
If your truck is completely factory standard (e.g., a stock Chevy Silverado 1500), you can use our Instant Quote Tool online.
