Missouri's central location makes it a natural logistics hub connecting eastern and western markets. From the automotive plants around Kansas City to the agricultural heart of the state, from St. Louis industrial operations to the Ozark tourism infrastructure, HEAT Freight leverages Missouri's geographic advantages to serve equipment transport needs efficiently.
Missouri's automotive sector includes major assembly plants and supplier facilities requiring production equipment. The agricultural sector produces cattle, hogs, soybeans, and corn, driving demand for farm equipment and livestock facility systems. Food processing, including beer brewing and meat packing, requires specialized equipment. Defense contractors around St. Louis need aerospace and weapons systems transport.
MoDOT issues oversize/overweight permits with attention to the state's extensive bridge inventory. Missouri allows movement of oversize loads 24 hours on many routes. Standard limits are 8'6" width, 14' height, and 80,000 lbs. The state coordinates well with neighboring states for regional transport.

What is Missouri's height limit?
Missouri allows 14' height on most routes without overheight permits, which is favorable for many tall loads. Specific routes with low bridges require verification. We analyze routes for any load approaching height limits and obtain permits when necessary.
Can you serve Missouri automotive plants?
Yes, we transport equipment to Missouri's automotive facilities including Ford Kansas City and GM Wentzville, plus the supplier network. We coordinate with plant logistics teams for delivery scheduling and handle production-critical equipment with appropriate urgency.
Does Missouri allow nighttime oversize movement?
Yes, Missouri permits 24-hour movement of oversize loads on many routes with proper permits. This provides flexibility for long-distance transport. Urban areas around St. Louis and Kansas City may have specific time restrictions that we verify during route planning.
How do you handle livestock facility equipment delivery?
We transport feed systems, confinement equipment, and processing machinery for Missouri's extensive livestock industry. We coordinate with farm and facility schedules, navigate rural roads with appropriate equipment, and understand the time-sensitive nature of many agricultural deliveries.
