Oversized shipments are often challenging not only because of their size, but also because they need to be delivered to places where a "normal" vehicle would not go.

Escorting an oversized transport is about much more than flashing amber lights and direction. A driver is often faced with extreme weather conditions: windstorms, dense fog, torrential rain or freezing rain - all real hazards.

Oversized transport is not an invention of the modern world - people have been transporting huge objects for thousands of years. Just in a different way.

Oversized shipments are a challenge not only because of size or weight, but also because they often have to meet timeframes that are set in stone. In many cases, permits are issued for specific times - for example, at night when traffic is lighter. In such cases, bridge closures, overhead power line shutdowns or police patrols are also strictly timed.
