Oversize and Overweight Bus Hauling Expertise

Managing oversize and overweight shipments is easily one of the biggest challenges when transporting buses. Many buses, especially double-deck or articulated models, exceed standard transport dimensions, adding another layer of complexity to shipments. To get them to their final destination requires a deep understanding of state and federal regulations, careful route planning, and the correct equipment. At Heavy Equipment Transport, we take care of all aspects of oversized bus hauling in-house, ensuring full compliance with the Department of Transportation (DOT) and state-specific regulations.

The oversize thresholds include:

  • • Width over 8’6” requires oversize permitting
  • • Height above 13’6” may require route surveys or escort vehicles
  • • Length beyond 45 feet requires additional state permits

By handling all necessary permits, escorts, and compliance internally, we reduce the risk of costly delays and apply our specialist knowledge and experience to keep your shipment on track and on schedule. Our experienced logistics team will work closely with you to ensure every step from planning to transporting is completed without hassle.

Can You Ship a School Bus to Hawaii?

One of the top questions we get at Heavy Equipment Transport is:

"Can you ship a school bus to Hawaii?"

Absolutely!

You can definitely ship a school bus to Hawaii! Heavy Equipment Transport ships school buses nationwide. That includes Hawaii. We have the resources, experience, and quality service you need to ship your school bus.

Because Hawaii is an island off the Pacific Coast, part of the school bus transport would be via cargo ship. So two to three teams would be necessary. One to haul the school bus to the port. A second to load the school bus onto and off of the cargo ship. This is assuming the drivers at each port need to set up a team to do this. And a third team is needed to haul the school bus from the port in Hawaii to its final destination.

Hauling a bus to Hawaii requires attention to detail and quality shipping services. Heavy Equipment Transport takes care of every detail from the first to the last. Find out more about shipping your school bus to Hawaii now! (888) 730-2951
