At Reinsfelder, we’re no strangers to oversized loads, but every now and then, a job comes along that truly stands out. That’s exactly what happened when Bruce was tasked with transporting a 50-foot-long, 10-foot-8-inch-wide, 11-foot-6-inch-tall tank weighing 68,000 pounds. It was a significant milestone in his career, and he handled it like a pro.
The Right Trailer for the Job
Moving a load of this magnitude required the right equipment. Bruce used a RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Extendable Fontaine trailer, designed for hauling heavy and oversized freight. The extendable feature allowed for the extra length needed to accommodate the tank, while the RGN configuration made for easier loading and unloading. With a lower deck height, the trailer also ensured the load stayed within height restrictions along the route.
The Journey: PA to La Baie, QC
Transporting heavy and oversized freight is never as simple as hooking up and hitting the road. With its size and weight, this haul required escort vehicles to navigate safely through multiple states and across the Canadian border. Bruce took on the long journey from Pennsylvania, to La Baie, Quebec, covering hundreds of miles while following strict regulations for oversized loads.
The Challenge and the Accomplishment
Every haul of this scale comes with unique obstacles—permits, routing, and maneuvering through tight spots. This was Bruce’s biggest haul to date, and it pushed his skills to a new level. The combination of weight, size, and border-crossing logistics made it one of his most demanding jobs yet. From coordinating with escort teams to ensuring compliance with state and provincial laws, he managed every detail with precision.
For Bruce, this wasn’t just another job—it was a major achievement. His dedication and expertise ensured everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way he handled it.
