Johnny’s Heavy Haul: A 130,000-Pound Journey from PA to ND

When it comes to moving oversized freight, experience makes all the difference. That’s why Reinsfelder trusts drivers like Johnny to handle the toughest hauls—like his latest trip, hauling a 130,000-pound transformer from Pennsylvania to North Dakota.

This was no ordinary load. The transformer required a 12-axle trailer to distribute its massive weight. Johnny had to carefully follow his permitted route, traveling across multiple states, ensuring every turn, bridge, and clearance was accounted for. With such a heavy haul, stopping distances were longer, acceleration was slower, and every maneuver had to be calculated.

To ensure a safe journey, Johnny had a high-pole escort leading the way, checking for low bridges and overhead obstacles. At the same time, a chase vehicle followed behind to monitor traffic and provide support. In Ohio and Indiana, he also had police escorts to assist with navigating highways and intersections.

After nearly 1,200 miles of expert driving, Johnny delivered the transformer safely and on time. Another oversized load, another job well done!
