Specialized heavy haul and super load transportation

Your partner for complex transportation logistics

As the specialty hauler for the affiliated companies of High Industries and a wide range of construction and manufacturing partners, High Transit continues to build on a legacy that drives American industry forward. Our story began in 1949 when our first truck was purchased to support High Welding Company, a leader in steel bridge construction, and marked the company’s entry into logistics and heavy hauling. This deep experience gives us a unique understanding of the challenges involved in moving massive components.

We are more than a trucking company; we are a strategic partner in complex transportation logistics. We provide heavy haul trucking for the construction and manufacturing sectors, delivering a comprehensive, safety-first approach to every large-scale project. From hauling massive bridge girders to delicate manufacturing equipment, our reputation is built on a foundation of innovation and unmatched capability.
