When it comes to moving oversized and heavy freight, there is no room for error. From navigating strict transportation regulations to choosing the right equipment, the logistics of these moves require a level of planning and expertise that goes far beyond the standard shipment.
At RJ Logistics, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-value, oversized freight safely, professionally, and on time—every time.
“Shipping oversize and valuable loads, it starts with experience first,” says Klaidi Shyti, Co-founder at RJ Logistics. “Our team has the experience to understand all the little things that make the difference.”
It Starts with Deep Industry Knowledge
Oversized freight can include anything from industrial machinery and robotics to large construction equipment and steel components. These loads typically exceed standard dimensions or weight limits and require specialized handling.
RJ Logistics brings years of hands-on experience to every shipment. We understand the importance of: – Exact measurements and dimensions – Choosing the right equipment type (step deck, RGN, Conestoga, etc.) – Proper securement techniques – Weather protection through tarping or enclosed systems – Navigating state and federal DOT regulations – Obtaining oversize permits
Every detail matters.
“From dimensions, to the type of equipment, to having the right tarps—it all comes together,” Klaidi says. “We make sure the load is completely covered and protected from the elements.”
Matching the Right Equipment to the Right Freight
We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team listens carefully to our customers’ needs and evaluates what kind of equipment is required.
- Flatbeds are great for raw materials like steel, lumber, or piping.
- Step decks allow for taller cargo that still needs to meet highway height requirements.
- RGNs (Removable Gooseneck Trailers) or double drops are used for extremely tall or heavy machinery.
- Conestoga trailers offer weatherproof protection and are ideal for sensitive freight like robotics, automotive machinery, or freshly painted components.
Every truck and trailer combination is chosen based on safety, efficiency, and protection.
Safety and Compliance Are Non-Negotiable
Heavy haul shipments face stricter rules than standard freight. Our operations team is well-versed in: – Multi-state permit acquisition – Route planning that avoids low bridges or narrow roads – Ensuring all securements are DOT-compliant – Vetting our carrier partners to ensure they have experience in oversized transportation
We work hand-in-hand with shippers, state agencies, and partner carriers to ensure the shipment runs smoothly from pickup to delivery.
“All these things come together between the shipper, our team, and the carrier partner we choose,” Klaidi explains. “We make sure that everything is in place to have high-value shipments being safe driving down the road.”
Communication is the Backbone of Execution
What makes RJ different is our role as the nerve center of the operation. We are the constant point of communication between shippers, receivers, and drivers. If there are any delays, reroutes, or updates, our customers hear from us first.
We offer: – Real-time tracking – Regular updates throughout the move – A dedicated team always available to resolve issues or answer questions
We believe that the best customer service doesn’t happen when things are perfect—it happens when something goes wrong, and we step in to fix it fast.
Powered by People
At the end of the day, the most advanced equipment and planning only work if there are good people behind the wheel.
RJ Logistics is proud to have built a team that takes pride in doing things the right way. We don’t just book a load and move on. We become a strategic partner, offering insight, care, and attention to every shipment we touch.
“It takes good people to do good work,” Klaidi adds. “From communicating well, to closing all the little loops where things can go wrong—we put a better operation in place altogether.”
