When a customer needed to move a $1.8 million generator set from Illinois to Texas, there was no room for shortcuts. The load measured 48’ long, 12’4” wide, 13’9” tall and weighed 100,000 lbs, placing it firmly in heavy haul territory with strict requirements from pickup through delivery.

From securement standards and shipment tracking to a tight delivery window, every detail mattered. Both the pickup and delivery locations came with specific requirements that had to be met, making communication and planning critical from start to finish. 

Rather than reacting to challenges as they arose, ZMac focused on upfront coordination. Our heavy haul team partnered with the right resource, ensured all load requirements were clearly communicated, and closely monitored the shipment throughout transit. To keep the move on schedule and reduce potential delays at delivery, we worked with all parties to arrange a weekend trailer drop alongside the site, allowing the driver to remain flexible while awaiting final offload.

The genset was delivered safely and on schedule. What could have been a high-stress move was handled smoothly through clear communication, consistent tracking, and experienced oversight.

High-value, heavy haul freight demands more than transportation. It demands precision.
