What is an Oversize Load?
Oversize loads, or wide loads, are any freight or cargo exceeding the maximum length, width and height allowed by law, which varies from state to state, and sometimes even by city or county. Here are some examples of oversize and wide loads we haul on a regular basis:
- Pre-fab wall panels for construction projects
- Roof trusses for construction projects
- Heavy equipment, including backhoes and bulldozers
- Culvert pipes
- Shipping crates with industrial machinery
- Cable reels and drums for power projects
- Fiberglass and aluminum swimming pools

Why Magnet Transport is Albany’s Oversize Load Trucking Expert
When it comes to overside loads, not all trucking companies are created equal. Oversize and wide load hauling requires an experienced driver with a unique set of skills for transporting over-dimensional freight.

At Magnet Transport, we do this every day. And that’s not an exaggeration. Our drivers are highly skilled oversize haulers because we transport oversize and wide load freight on a daily basis. We know state laws inside and out, and we regularly work with permitting agents, state police and a trusted pilot car network.
