How we work
A small carrier built around two open-deck trailers and one rule: know the load before the truck moves.
Measured before it moves
Every quote starts with the load’s real dimensions and weight. The trailer, the route and any permits follow from those numbers — not the other way round.
The right trailer for the load
A step deck for freight that is lifted on; an RGN lowboy for equipment that drives on or stands tall. You get told which, and why.
People who run the truck
A small carrier, run by its owners. When you call or text, Sanjeev answers — not a call center, not a broker.
The equipment
Two trailers. Most of what a van can’t take.
One truck, two trailers, swapped to suit the load. Lifted on and under about ten feet, it rides the step deck. Driven on, or taller than that, it rides the RGN.
Drop deck · step deck · low-profile step deck
53 ft low‑pro step deck
A flatbed with a step in it: a short upper deck over the truck, then a long main deck set low to the ground. The low deck buys roughly two extra feet of legal height over a flatbed, and the open sides mean it loads by forklift or crane from any angle.
Choose it when Taller than a flatbed allows, but under about 10 ft — and lifted on, not driven on.
Removable gooseneck · lowboy · double drop
RGN lowboy
The front of the trailer — the gooseneck — comes off, the deck drops to the ground and becomes a ramp, and the equipment drives straight on. Between the neck and the axles the deck sits in a low well barely off the road, which is what lets tall machinery travel at legal height.
Choose it when It drives on under its own power, or it is too tall for a step deck.
Which trailer?
Lifted on, or driven on?
The fastest way to know which trailer your load needs. Not sure? Send the model or the dimensions and we will tell you.
Excavators, dozers, loaders — anything that drives on
RGN lowboy
The gooseneck comes off and the deck becomes a ramp. No crane, no dock.
Machinery taller than about 10 ft
RGN lowboy
The low well leaves roughly 11½–12 ft of legal height.
Farm tractors and implements
Either
Depends on the height and how it loads. Send the model and we will say which.
Machinery on skids, crated equipment
Step deck
Forklift or crane from any side, about 10 ft of legal height on the main deck.
Steel, pipe, lumber, building materials
Step deck
Long, flat and loaded from the side.
Wider than 8 ft 6 in
RGN lowboy
Oversize — it needs a permit from every state and province on the route.
How a load moves
From a tape measure to a signed bill of lading.
Five steps, in the order they happen. Nothing is worked out at your dock that could have been worked out on the phone.
-
Step 01
Send the numbers
What it is, where it is, where it is going — and its length, width, height and weight. Photos help most; text them straight to our phone.
-
Step 02
We pick the trailer
Lifted on and under about ten feet: the step deck. Drives on, or too tall for it: the RGN. You get a straight answer on which, and why.
-
Step 03
Permits and route
Anything over legal size or weight is planned before the quote — permits, route and any escort requirements — so the price covers the whole move.
-
Step 04
Loaded and secured
Lifted or driven on at pickup, then chained or strapped to the federal securement rules and checked again on the road.
-
Step 05
Hauled and delivered
Across the US or across the border, to your delivery address, with the bill of lading signed when it comes off the deck.
The lane
California to Ontario, and back.
Our main run is Los Angeles to Toronto — about 2,500 miles of open-deck freight across the border, both directions. Everything else in the lower 48 gets the same truck and the same people.

Guides
Shipping heavy freight, explained.
Plain answers to the questions that come before a quote.
Step deck, double drop or RGN? Choosing a trailer
Open-deck trailers differ mostly in two things: how close the deck sits to the road, and how the load gets on. Here is how that decides which one your freight needs.
Guide 02 6 minHow to measure and describe a load for a quote
A heavy-haul quote is only as good as the numbers it is built on. Here is exactly what to measure, how to measure it, and what else a carrier needs to know.
Guide 03 8 minShipping equipment from California to Canada
A cross-border load has more people involved than a domestic one. Here is who does what — shipper, carrier, importer and customs broker — and what has to be ready before the truck leaves.
Questions
Asked before the first load.
Anything else, call or text — a real answer beats a page of them.
01 What kind of freight does RR Road haul?
Open-deck and heavy-haul freight: machinery, construction and farm equipment, steel, building materials and anything too tall, too heavy or too awkward for an enclosed van. We run a 53 ft low-pro step deck and an RGN lowboy.
02 Where do you haul?
We are based in Fresno, California. Our main run is Los Angeles to Toronto and back, and we haul anywhere in the lower 48 states and across the border into and out of Canada.
03 How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form, or call or text us. The fastest quotes come with the pickup and delivery locations, what the load is, its length, width, height and weight, and how it loads.
04 Step deck or RGN — which do I need?
If the load is lifted on by forklift or crane and is under about 10 ft tall, usually the step deck. If it drives on under its own power, or it is too tall for the step deck, the RGN lowboy. Send the dimensions and we will tell you.
05 Can you haul oversize loads?
Yes, on the RGN. Oversize and overweight loads need permits from each state and province on the route, and sometimes escorts. We plan those before quoting so the price covers the whole move.
06 Are you a broker?
No. RR Road Inc. is a carrier: your load goes on our trailer, behind our truck. When you call or text, you reach the people who run it.
07 Do you haul to and from Canada?
Yes — it is our main lane. We send the electronic manifest to the border agencies and coordinate with your customs broker. As a US carrier we cannot move freight between two points inside Canada.
08 Who will I be talking to?
Sanjeev. RR Road is a small carrier run by its owners, so the person who answers your call is part of the team that hauls your load.
