Frequently Asked Questions
How do frost laws affect container shipping in Minnesota?
Minnesota enforces seasonal “frost laws” that reduce allowable axle weights during spring thaw to protect roadways. This directly impacts container transport. Heavy Equipment Transport monitors frost law schedules and adjusts equipment and routing to keep shipments compliant.
Does Heavy Equipment Transport provide container service in Minneapolis–St. Paul?
Yes. Heavy Equipment Transport manages drayage from intermodal terminals in the Twin Cities, arranges chassis, and provides line-haul service throughout Minnesota and the Midwest.
Can Heavy Equipment Transport handle containers moving to rural farming areas?
Absolutely. Much of Minnesota’s container freight supports agriculture. Heavy Equipment Transport provides delivery to rural regions, ensuring containers reach farms, processing plants, and storage facilities safely and on time.
What are the most common routes for container shipping in Minnesota?
I-94, I-35, and US-52 are major container corridors in Minnesota. Heavy Equipment Transport uses these routes daily, planning efficient paths based on container dimensions, weight, and permit requirements.
How long does it take to ship a container in Minnesota?
Local deliveries in the Twin Cities are often completed the same day. Shipments to rural areas typically take 1–2 days, while interstate moves may take longer. Heavy Equipment Transport dispatches quickly and provides real-time updates to keep clients informed.
