Iowa heavy equipment transport costs start at $2.00 to $4.00 per mile for standard loads, and permitted moves increase once escorts are required. The Iowa heavy equipment hauling costs depend on the fuel prices, trailer type, and permit requirements. A wide dozer requiring a police escort through Davenport increases heavy equipment shipping costs. Distance matters as well, since long-distance shipping lowers per-mile rates while short moves increase them. Call (877) 880-5991 for an Iowa heavy equipment shipping quote today.
Iowa requires a permit whenever a load exceeds the legal limits on the road. In Iowa, those limits are 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, and 80,000 pounds in total weight. Most excavators, dozers, and cranes exceed those limits, so a permit is required for almost every haul.
The Iowa Department of Transportation issues these permits for state roads. Counties and cities control their own roads, so some routes require extra local permits too.
Loads over 156,000 pounds are considered superloads. These giant moves need special review from the Iowa DOT before the truck ever rolls. The state checks the route, the bridges, and the road surface to make sure everything can handle the weight.
