Step decks are used both for legal loads and heavy haul trucking jobs.\r\n\r\nThe step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground, while the lower main deck is about 2’ lower.\r\n\r\nStep deck trucking is used for tall loads. In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-4026 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4022\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/double.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n\r\n• Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)\r\n• Single axle: 20,000 lbs.\r\n• Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.

Step decks are used both for legal loads and heavy haul trucking jobs.\r\n\r\nThe step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground, while the lower main deck is about 2’ lower.\r\n\r\nStep deck trucking is used for tall loads. In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-4026 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4022\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/double.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n\r\n• Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)\r\n• Single axle: 20,000 lbs.\r\n• Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-trucking-jobs-guide/\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles can exceed 200,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It also calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a large wind turbine may call for a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three transport the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only a team of professional heavy haul drivers can get everything to the destination on time.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, Lone Star has that team.

One large turbine costs less to build than many small ones. Thus, the size of turbines keeps growing. So does the difficulty of moving them from factory to wind farm.\r\n\r\nToday’s wind turbine components are among the largest of <a href=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/heavy-haul-trucking-jobs-guide/\">super loads</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Blades can span 200 feet.</li>\r\n 	<li><em>Just half</em> a turbine\'s tower might be 15 feet wide and 120 feet long.</li>\r\n 	<li>Nacelles can exceed 200,000 lbs. (That includes the generator, gearbox and electrical apparatus.)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis isn’t your average flatbed cargo. Wind turbine transport is an exacting heavy haul job. It requires custom rigs and experienced driver/support teams. It also calls for extensive planning, scouting and permitting.\r\n\r\nAll in all, delivery of a large wind turbine may call for a caravan of 7 to 10 trucks. While some pull standard lowboys and drop decks, most haul highly specialized trailers. Three transport the blades. Another moves the nacelle. Three to four carry tower sections. Additionally, one or two may transport smaller components.\r\n\r\nMoreover, you need up to 60 trucks if you’re shipping six turbines at a time. Only a team of professional heavy haul drivers can get everything to the destination on time.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, Lone Star has that team.

Step decks are used both for legal loads and heavy haul trucking jobs.\r\n\r\nThe step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground, while the lower main deck is about 2’ lower.\r\n\r\nStep deck trucking is used for tall loads. In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-4026 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4022\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/double.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n\r\n• Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)\r\n• Single axle: 20,000 lbs.\r\n• Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Single axle: 20,000 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.

In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-4026 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4022\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/double.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Single axle: 20,000 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.

In fact, step deck trailers can carry cargo up to 10’ high as legal loads.  For that reason, they commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight.\r\n\r\nBecause step deck trailers are so low to the ground, forklifts easily load them from ground level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-4026 size-full\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/stepdeck.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"2.

A double drop looks like a step deck or RGN in the front, but another short deck sits over its rear tires. Between the two short decks runs a long, very low main deck. Dropping below the trailer’s axles, this center deck is called the “well.”\r\n\r\nThe double drop trailer’s deep well and low-profile wheels allow it to carry legal loads with cargo up to 11’6” high. Heavy haul trucking jobs use double drops, too. Most have a “flip axle” to handle the weight of large loads. The flip axle attaches to a trailer’s rear frame with hinge plates and pins. Thus, the axle folds down for heavy loads, and then back up onto the rear deck for storage.\r\n\r\nRGN double drops carry vehicles that drive on for easy loading. That includes construction equipment, forklifts, trucks and tanks.\r\n\r\nConventional double drop trailers (those without RGNs) more often are loaded by crane.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4022\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/double.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/toggle][toggle color=\"Accent-Color\" title=\"4.

The first laws tried to prevent iron and solid rubber tires from damaging dirt or gravel roads. Current law, on the other hand, protects bridges and pavement from the weight of increasingly large loads.\r\n\r\nFederal law limits gross truck weight to 80,000 lbs. Each state has its weight limits, typically 46,000 lbs. for legal loads and 80,000 lbs. with a routine permit.\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\">Bridge Formulas &amp; Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs</span></h4>\r\nIn some cases, the <a href=\"https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/publications/brdg_frm_wghts/index.htm\">Federal Bridge Formula</a> further reduces the 80,000 lb. limit. (Many states have bridge formulas as well, most notably California). Bridge formulas calculate weight limits based on the number and spacing of truck axles, in order to prevent the concentration of weight in short trucks or on small sections of long trailers.\r\n\r\nFederal law also limits total weight carried on any axle to the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Steer axle: 12,000 lbs. (or as rated by the manufacturer, not to exceed 20,000 lbs.)</li>\r\n 	<li>Single axle: 20,000 lbs.</li>\r\n 	<li>Tandem axles: 34,000 lbs.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Standard tandem axles are 5’ apart; together, they carry up to 34,000 lbs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">“Split” tandems, also known as \"spread axles,\" are at least 10’ feet apart. Under federal law, each axle counts separately when calculating per axle weight limits. Weight cannot excrrd 20,000 lbs. per axle.</p>\r\nSpread axles provide flexibility when distributing weight between axles,. Spread axle trailers also are more stable during loading and unloading.\r\n\r\nWhile spread axles provide a smooth ride that’s less damaging to road surfaces, its wider turning radius is difficult to maneuver. Tires, wheels, suspension parts and pavement all suffer when a driver turns too sharply.\r\n\r\n<a name=\"heavyloader\"></a>[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"wp-image-4029 aligncenter\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-24-at-9.36.58-PM.png\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" />[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\"][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4171\" src=\"http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/spread.jpg\" alt=\"heavy haul trucking jobs\" width=\"700\" height=\"309\" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" class=\"homesmarginslsdelete\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" shape_type=\"\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1/2\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\"][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2>The Ultimate Heavy Haul Trucking Jobs: Super Loads</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shippers need to move cargo that far exceeds “routine permit limits.” The popular term for such freight is its legal name as well: \"super load.\" Pulling a super load also is called \"super heavy hauling,\" or \"super heavy haul trucking.\"</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Without a doubt, transporting super loads is the most prestigious of heavy haul trucking jobs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The definition of a super load varies from state to state.
