Overview
Heavy Equipment Transport was tasked with safely hauling a Volvo Mini Cabover Truck from Cedartown, Georgia to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While compact compared to traditional highway tractors, cabover trucks still require precise planning due to their weight distribution, height profile, and securement requirements.
This case study highlights how proper trailer selection, route planning, and hands-on coordination ensured a smooth, damage-free delivery.
The Challenge
The client needed a reliable carrier to transport a Volvo mini cabover truck without delays or complications. The shipment required:
- Proper evaluation of the truck’s dimensions and weight
- Selection of the correct trailer type
- Securement that would prevent movement during transit
- On-time delivery with no mid-route issues
Cabover trucks can be deceptively complex to transport. Using the wrong trailer or improper tie-down methods could result in delays, safety concerns, or equipment damage.

The Transport Plan
Before dispatch, Heavy Equipment Transport handled all pre-move planning to eliminate uncertainty.
- Truck specifications confirmed: 13,500 lbs | 263.8” L x 98” W x 99” H
- Trailer selected: Step deck trailer to manage height and balance
- Insurance and paperwork completed prior to pickup
- Route planned to support efficient transit without unnecessary stops
By confirming all details upfront, the shipment was treated as a specialized truck transport job, not a generic haul.
Loading and Securement
On pickup day, the Volvo mini cabover truck was:
- Carefully positioned on the step deck trailer
- Secured using chains and proper tie-down points
- Blocked at the wheels to prevent movement
- Inspected prior to departure to ensure stability
The driver conducted regular checks throughout the trip to maintain securement and address any adjustments proactively.
Transit and Delivery
The truck traveled via I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike, providing a direct and efficient route. Because the shipment was properly planned from the start:
- No delays occurred during transit
- No re-securement or trailer changes were needed
- Delivery was completed in approximately 11 hours
Upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale, the Volvo mini cabover truck was carefully unloaded and delivered on time and damage-free.
The Results
- On-time delivery
- No damage to the truck
- Proper trailer selection from the beginning
- Fully insured transport
- Smooth execution with no last-minute issues
The client was satisfied with both the speed and professionalism of the transport.
