Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from contractors, farmers, and equipment owners across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and the broader Southeast.
How much does it cost to haul heavy equipment in Florida?
Standard flatbed hauls run $3.50 to $4.50 per mile for loads within legal dimensions. Oversize loads requiring permits and escorts run $5.00 to $8.00 per mile. Short hauls under 100 miles typically carry a flat rate of $500 to $1,200 due to fixed loading and setup costs. Call (352) 632-2041 with your equipment type, dimensions, and route for a flat quote.
Do I need a permit to haul my equipment in Florida?
A permit is required for any load wider than 8'6", taller than 13'6", longer than 75 feet overall, or heavier than 80,000 lbs gross. Florida DOT fines run up to $1,000 per size violation and $0.05 per pound for weight overages. Big Frog Transportation files the permit as part of the haul for any load that exceeds these thresholds.
Can you haul equipment across multiple states in the Southeast?
Yes. The company holds interstate operating authority under MC-1105738 covering Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, and beyond. Each state requires its own oversize permit application. Big Frog Transportation coordinates permits for every state the load crosses and plans the route before departure.
What is a Landoll trailer and when is it used?
A Landoll trailer tilts its rear deck to ground level, allowing wheeled or tracked equipment to drive onto the trailer under its own power. No crane or forklift is needed at the pickup site. The Landoll is used for excavators, bulldozers, motor graders, and other self-propelled equipment. It is not suited for equipment that cannot operate under its own power. See the full Landoll guide →
How long does it take to schedule a haul?
Standard loads without permit requirements can typically schedule within one to two business days. Oversize loads requiring FDOT permits take additional lead time depending on load dimensions and route. Florida DOT processes most standard oversize permits within one business day online. Call as early as possible for time-sensitive moves.
Are you licensed and insured?
Big Frog Transportation LLC operates under USDOT 3395422 and MC-1105738, both active and authorized for interstate for-hire property transport. The company carries commercial auto liability and cargo insurance on every load. Certificates of insurance are available on request for job sites or clients requiring documentation.
What hours can oversize loads travel in Florida?
Florida DOT permits oversize movement from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays. Saturday travel for larger loads must stop by noon. Oversize loads cannot travel on Sundays. Movement is prohibited on major holidays including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
What types of heavy equipment do you haul?
The company hauls track excavators, crawler dozers, skid steers, motor graders, compactors, forklifts, and boom lifts in the construction category. Agricultural equipment includes tractors, combines, balers, and planters. The company also hauls motor vehicles and general freight under its FMCSA cargo classification. Call to confirm availability for specialty or industrial equipment.
Do you offer emergency or rush hauling?
Call (352) 632-2041 directly for time-sensitive moves. The Ocala and Jacksonville dispatch locations allow faster response across Florida and into South Georgia compared to a single-location operation. Standard oversize permit lead time still applies — the permit must be in the cab before the truck moves.
