Ship Your Bus Safely, On Time, and Without the Headache

Transporting buses isn’t just about getting them from point A to point B. It’s about doing so safely, on schedule, and in compliance with all relevant regulations. Buses are overweight and oversize, and transporting them requires following strict regulations. Cutting corners or forgoing a specialist can lead to unforeseen missteps, costly delays, or, worse still, damage to your fleet.

With Heavy Equipment Transport, you can put any worries to rest.

With us, you get peace of mind knowing your buses are in good hands.

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.
