South Dakota Heavy Haul FAQ
How do spring weight restrictions affect South Dakota transport?
South Dakota imposes spring weight restrictions during thaw, typically March through May. Restrictions can reduce allowable weights significantly. Heavy equipment moves should be scheduled before restrictions begin or after they lift.
Can you transport wind turbine components to South Dakota wind farms?
Yes, we handle wind turbine blades, nacelles, and tower sections for South Dakota's wind energy projects. These loads require detailed route surveys and multiple escorts. We coordinate with wind farm construction schedules.
What are the Black Hills transport considerations?
The Black Hills present mountain driving challenges including steep grades and winding routes. Some tourist-area routes have seasonal restrictions. We plan routes carefully and use experienced drivers for Black Hills deliveries.
Can you transport agricultural equipment during harvest?
Yes, we transport combines, headers, and grain equipment throughout South Dakota's agricultural regions. We coordinate with harvest schedules and navigate rural roads appropriately. Timing during the short harvest season is critical.
