The Basics
Why Construction Equipment Hauling Requires a Specialist
Construction equipment is heavy, wide, and often outside standard legal limits before it leaves the yard. A loaded track excavator can weigh 50,000 pounds or more. A bulldozer with the blade attached typically exceeds 8 feet 6 inches in width, which triggers an FDOT oversize permit requirement before the truck moves.
Big Frog Transportation has moved hundreds of pieces of construction iron across Florida and the Southeast. The company loads each piece to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration securement standards using chains and binders rated for the equipment weight. Tracked equipment is chained front and rear. Wheeled equipment gets wheel blocks and chain tie-downs. The driver inspects the load at every stop on multi-stop hauls.
The company files FDOT oversize permits as part of every haul that requires one. The permit travels in the cab. The truck does not move without it.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions contractors and equipment owners ask most often about construction equipment hauling in Florida.
How do you haul an excavator in Florida?
Most excavators ride on a flatbed or Landoll trailer. The machine is driven onto the trailer, the bucket is lowered, and the unit is chained and secured at multiple points per DOT requirements. If the excavator exceeds legal width or height limits, we pull an oversize permit from FDOT before the haul. We handle all of that.
Do I need a permit to haul a bulldozer in Florida?
It depends on the size. If the dozer with blade attached exceeds 8 feet 6 inches in width or 13 feet 6 inches in height, yes, you need an FDOT permit. Most full-size dozers require a permit. We take care of the permit process so you do not have to deal with FDOT.
How much does it cost to haul construction equipment in Florida?
A standard haul of a skid steer or compact equipment might run $500 to $1,200 for a local move. Larger equipment over longer distances runs $3.50 to $8.00 per mile depending on size, weight, and permit requirements. Call us at 352-632-2041 for a quote based on your specific machine and destination.
Can you haul construction equipment to another state?
Yes. The company hauls construction equipment across the Southeast including Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Mississippi. Multi-state hauls require permits from each state the load passes through. Big Frog Transportation files those permits and plans a legal route before the truck rolls.
How do you secure construction equipment on a trailer?
The company uses DOT-approved chains and binders rated for the weight of the equipment. Track equipment gets chained at the front and rear of each track. Wheeled equipment gets wheel chocks plus chain tie-downs. Booms and buckets are lowered, moving parts are pinned, and height clearances are checked before departure.
