A load that can't move is a project that's stopped.
When the equipment doesn't arrive on time, the job site shuts down. Every day of delay has a cost. The difference between a carrier that delivers and one that fails isn't measured in price — it's measured in consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing is point-to-point and depends on weight, dimensions, distance, and whether OW/OS permits and escorts are required. We quote origin to destination, all-in — no surprise charges. Most quotes come back the same day. Call 956-701-5070 or request a quote online for an accurate number on your specific load.
Machines up to 85 tons (170,000 lbs) in a single move on our 9-axle Aspen lowboy with Jeep and Booster. Standard lowboy and step deck configurations cover most loads from 50,000 to 120,000 lbs. Length depends on trailer config and route permitting.
If your load exceeds 80,000 lbs gross, 8'6" wide, 14 feet tall, or a trailer longer than 59 feet, you need oversize and overweight permits. Force files Texas OS/OW permits (TxDMV) in-house — routing, paperwork, escort coordination, and timing. You ship the load; we handle the compliance.
Most quotes come back the same day for loads under 80,000 lbs. OW/OS loads take 24 to 48 hours for routing and permit pricing. Scheduling depends on permit lead times — standard moves go out same day or next day; oversize loads typically take 3 to 7 days for routing and TxDMV permit approval.
Lowboys (60T and 85T) have a low deck height for tall machinery like excavators, dozers, and cranes — they handle the heaviest single-piece loads. Step decks have an upper and lower deck, suited for general construction equipment up to standard heights. RGN (Removable Gooseneck) lowboys let equipment drive on and off — ideal for self-propelled machinery. Force runs lowboys and a 53ft Fontaine step deck.
We file Texas OS/OW permits in-house on our own TxPROS account — no third-party permit service. Escorts are arranged and invoiced with the move.
Force carries cargo and auto liability coverage on Heavy Haul loads. DOT 3496920, MC 1152805. Certificate of Insurance available on request.
Yes. Force arranges certified escort vehicles for oversize loads — required in Texas for widths over 12 feet, heights over 14 feet, and overlength loads. Escorts are quoted per route and included in the all-in quote — you don't book or pay them separately.
Texas is our service area: Laredo, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Houston, Eagle Pass, Del Rio and the Rio Grande Valley, with statewide reach on permitted moves. We hold interstate authority and quote out-of-state moves case by case.
Most heavy haul moves are quoted one-way because deadhead miles back to base are a hard cost we absorb. Round-trip discounts are possible when we can pair your return load with another customer's outbound — ask at quote time. For repeat lanes or contracted volume, we offer dedicated pricing.
