Heavy haul and OD
Heavy haul quotes need equipment truth before price
Heavy haul and over-dimensional freight can look expensive for the wrong reasons if the quote does not separate equipment fit, legal thresholds, permits, escorts, insurance, and routing risk.
- Checks cargo dimensions against open-deck equipment families
- Separates routine permits from true manual-review freight
- Shows internal permit and equipment notes without exposing broker-only pricing logic to customers
Why the right equipment comes first
A tall machine may need a step deck or double drop before price is even the question. A wide but light hot shot can be permit-eligible, while a long unsupported piece may require different deck space. FastQuotes is built to make those distinctions visible.
Routine permits are not the same as superloads
The system treats routine over-dimensional moves differently from freight that needs manual routing, surveys, escorts, or specialized review. That keeps ordinary permit freight moving without pretending every load is simple.

Common questions
Can flatbeds, step decks, and hot shots haul permitted freight?
Yes, when the cargo fits the equipment and the move is within routine permit limits. FastQuotes supports that real-world open-deck behavior.
Does FastQuotes replace permit offices or carrier dispatch?
No. It gives a fast quote estimate and flags review points. Final permits, routing, and carrier confirmation still matter.
