Case Study: Expedited Transport of 42,000 Pounds of Granite Slabs

The Challenge

A construction company needed an urgent same-day transport solution for a full load of granite slabs from Pompano Beach, FL, to Orlando, FL. The 42,000-pound load was essential for the continuation of construction, and any delay could impact the project timeline. Given the weight and fragility of the slabs, only an experienced heavy haul company could handle the job.

Corey Austin, one of our expert logistics specialists, was assigned to coordinate the transport. His first priority was to:

  • Fully insure the 42,000-pound granite slab shipment
  • Obtain all required transportation paperwork and permits
  • Determine the best trailer for transport

  • After evaluating the load, Corey selected a flatbed trailer, ensuring safe and efficient transport of the granite slabs.

    • Origin: Pompano Beach, FL
    • Destination: Orlando, FL
    • Route: I-95 N & Florida’s Turnpike
    • Total Miles: Approx. 200

    The Strategy: Safe Loading & Route Optimization

    Given the delicate nature of the slabs, Corey coordinated a careful loading process to prevent any damage. His plan included:

  • Dispatching a professional driver stationed in Pompano Beach, FL
  • Arranging crane operators to assist with loading the slabs safely
  • Using specialized securements to keep the load intact throughout transit

  • The loading process required precise handling to ensure each slab was properly positioned. After a couple of hours, the team secured the load and completed final safety inspections before dispatch.
