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.
Up to 170,000 lbs gross (truck and trailer included), with single-move capacity of 85 tons 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, 13'6" tall, or 65 feet long, you need oversize and overweight permits. Force manages all TxDOT OW/OS permits 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 TxDOT 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.
Force operates US-side from Laredo to the border and coordinates handoff to Mexican partners for cross-border moves. Process: Force picks up the load at origin, handles US customs paperwork, transfers at the Laredo international bridge, and a Mexican carrier takes the load to the final destination. Ask about CTPAT-compliant lanes for sensitive freight.
Force carries cargo and liability coverage up to fully insured on Heavy Haul loads. Coverage includes physical damage to the cargo in transit, third-party liability, and standard auto liability. DOT 3496920, MC 1152805. Certificate of Insurance available on request.
Yes. Force provides certified escort vehicles for oversize loads — required by TxDOT 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 primary service area: Laredo, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Brownsville, McAllen, and Corpus Christi. We also run select interstate routes into Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arkansas. For long-haul interstate moves outside Texas, ask for a custom quote.
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.
