Tennessee's central location and diverse manufacturing base make it a heavy equipment transport hub for the Southeast. From the automotive plants in Middle Tennessee to the music industry infrastructure in Nashville, from logistics operations in Memphis to chemical manufacturing in the eastern valleys, HEAT Freight serves the Volunteer State efficiently.
Tennessee's automotive industry includes Nissan, GM, and Volkswagen assembly plants plus extensive suppliers requiring production equipment. FedEx's Memphis hub drives logistics equipment demand. The music industry needs specialized entertainment equipment. Chemical manufacturing along the Tennessee River requires process equipment. Nuclear facilities at Oak Ridge and TVA plants need specialized transport.
TDOT issues oversize/overweight permits. Standard limits are 8.5' width, 13.5' height, and 80,000 lbs. Loads over 12' wide require escorts; over 14' requires dual escorts. Tennessee allows oversize movement 24 hours on many routes. Single-trip permits start at $50.
