Common questions
Who handles permits and escorts?
The carrier (or Landstar's specialized team) secures permits and arranges pilot cars based on the load's dimensions and route. You'll see permit and escort costs reflected in the quote.
How far ahead should I book oversize freight?
As early as you can — permits and specialized equipment add lead time. Even if your date isn't firm, send the dimensions and we'll price it and plan around it.
Can you handle loads that need a crane at pickup?
Yes, as long as the site provides it. Tell us how it's loaded and unloaded so we match the right trailer type.
Have an oversize load to price?
Send lane, dates, commodity, weight and equipment. You'll get a rate and a straight answer on capacity — usually same day.
