Landstar News & Resources

If your company does not have the resources or expertise to manage over-weight and/or over-dimensional moves, and you don’t bring in a heavy haul specialist who does, you could be setting yourself up for failure.

According to Meyer, a combination of technology, experienced owner-operators and agency staff, and coordination with the customer have made moving each wind-power superload a success.

Supporting the United States military is part of daily operations at Lee’s Services and Storage LLC. The independent Landstar agency has more than three decades of experience moving multi-load projects for the DoD.

Shasko and his team secured a wide range of transportation modes for the project, including: truckload capacity, air, ocean and rail intermodal services. After weeks of planning and collaboration with TPS, a logistics plan was in place for the year-long plant construction projects.

During the five-year project, 25 cannons will be transported to Texas A&M University, where the experts in the Conservation Research Laboratory (CRL) will work to preserve the heavy artillery.

The agency, L-5 Transportation Inc., has provided transportation services for RWI’s parent company, Tri-Mer Corporation, for the last 30 years. When faced with the new challenge from their longtime customer, the agency was prepared.

When the time came to move to a new location, it took three dry vans to transport the industrial kitchen equipment that filled a large warehouse.

Transportation may not be the first thought that comes to mind when thinking of national defense but it plays a critical role in maintaining the United States’ security.
