Hot shot delivery is a fast and efficient freight service for time-sensitive cargo. It ensures rapid pickup and direct transport of critical materials between job sites or to their final destination. At DBI Transport, we offer hot shot services across Canada and cross-border, including Edmonton, Calgary, Langley, Prince George, and Kelowna. Our fleet handles:
Transporting pipes requires precise handling to prevent shifting and damage. Our drivers use a combination of straps and chains to secure pipes in rows whenever possible. Key considerations include:
Cranes are classified as over-dimensional freight and require specialized equipment for transport. At DBI Transport, we use flatbed and removable gooseneck (RGN) trailers to accommodate large crane components. Our team handles the permit requirements for oversized loads and the safe loading and unloading of your equipment. Each of our drivers are trained specifically for heavy machinery transport.
Cross-border transport costs depend on multiple factors, including:
DBI Transport is fully licensed for U.S. and Canadian freight transport. Our drivers have valid CDL licenses and passports, ensuring smooth customs clearance and compliance with border regulations.
British Columbia has strict regulations for oversized loads, including maximum legal dimensions before a permit is required, escort vehicle requirements for extreme dimensions, and restrictions on travel times and routes. Our team manages all necessary permits and compliance requirements to ensure a hassle-free transport experience.
Transporting modular camp units and office buildings requires specialized handling to maintain structural integrity and ensure a smooth relocation. At DBI Transport, we use hydraulic trailers for safe and efficient loading and unloading, minimizing stress on the building. Our team coordinates with pilot and escort vehicles to navigate oversized loads through highways and local roads, ensuring compliance with transport regulations. We also conduct detailed route planning to avoid low-clearance obstacles, restricted areas, and weight-limited bridges, guaranteeing a secure and timely delivery.
Moving modular buildings across provinces or international borders requires specific permits to comply with transportation regulations. Oversize load permits are necessary to account for the structure’s width, height, and length. Additionally, route approvals must be obtained to ensure safe passage, considering road restrictions, infrastructure limitations, and seasonal regulations. Compliance with weight restrictions on bridges and highways is also critical. DBI Transport handles the entire permitting process, ensuring that your modular unit is transported legally and efficiently without delays.
