Heavy Haul Now provides oversize transport across Fort Worth's defense manufacturing, logistics, and construction landscape - from aerospace tooling moves within the city to multi-state superloads originating at AllianceTexas intermodal terminals.
Fort Worth's freight demands are driven by aerospace manufacturing, the AllianceTexas logistics hub, and construction growth. We match each shipment to the right trailer, secure permits, arrange escorts, and provide GPS-tracked delivery.
How Aerospace Manufacturing, AllianceTexas, and Construction Growth Power Fort Worth's Economy
Fort Worth is home to the largest defense manufacturing facility in the Western Hemisphere, one of the most advanced inland port complexes in North America, and a construction market that set records in 2025.
Lockheed Martin's F-35 production facility employs thousands and produces the most advanced fighter jet in the world. Bell in Hurst is building the next-generation V-280 Valor tiltrotor. AllianceTexas - developed by Hillwood - spans 27,000 acres and includes BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility, Fort Worth Alliance Airport, and over 560 companies. Fort Worth issued 1,261 commercial building permits worth $5.72 billion in 2025. The city added 18,000+ residents in one year, driving residential and infrastructure construction.
Trailer Configurations for Fort Worth Aerospace and Industrial Moves
Fort Worth's mix of aerospace tooling, defense equipment, intermodal transloads, and construction machinery requires a range of trailer configurations matched to each specific cargo.
Flatbeds carry structural steel and aerospace fixtures. Step decks handle manufacturing equipment. RGN trailers transport military vehicles and tracked construction equipment. Lowboys move cranes. Multi-axle trailers handle transformers from BNSF intermodal.
Route Planning for Oversize Loads Through Fort Worth
Fort Worth's highway system centers on I-35W (north-south to AllianceTexas and Dallas), I-20 (east-west), I-30 (northeast to Dallas), and Loop 820 (urban bypass).
I-35W north connects to AllianceTexas and continues to Denton and Oklahoma. I-20 provides east-west transcontinental access. I-30 connects to downtown Dallas. Loop 820 and I-820 offer urban bypass routing. SH-121/SH-183 serve the mid-cities corridor between Fort Worth and DFW Airport. Lockheed Martin and Bell facility access requires specific route coordination through industrial areas.
TxDMV Permits for Equipment Transport Through Fort Worth
Standard TxDMV rules apply. Fort Worth and Tarrant County may add local curfews. AllianceTexas facility access requires coordination with terminal operators.
Legal limits: 8 ft 6 in wide, 14 ft high, 80,000 lbs GVW. Single-trip permits to 254,300 lbs. AllianceTexas BNSF facility access requires advance scheduling. Lockheed Martin's plant may require security coordination. Heavy Haul Now handles all permits.
Interstate Equipment Transport From Fort Worth
Fort Worth provides direct interstate access to the entire country via I-35W, I-20, and I-30, with AllianceTexas serving as a major freight origin for rail-to-truck transloads heading nationwide.
