North Carolina's diverse economy spans furniture manufacturing in the Piedmont, technology in the Research Triangle, and agriculture across the Coastal Plain. From Charlotte's banking district construction to textile mill equipment in the Triad, HEAT Freight serves the Tar Heel State with regional expertise and competitive rates.
North Carolina's furniture and textile industries require manufacturing equipment transport. The Research Triangle's biotech and pharmaceutical sectors need precision equipment. The state's growing solar industry demands installation equipment. Tobacco and sweet potato harvesting equipment serves agricultural operations. Charlotte's construction boom drives crane and heavy equipment demand.
NCDOT issues oversize/overweight permits. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 13.5' height, and 80,000 lbs. Loads over 12' wide require escorts; over 16' requires dual escorts. Superloads exceeding 200,000 lbs need advance notice and bridge analysis. Single-trip permits start at $50.
