Behind the Wheels: How We Handle Heavy Hauling Across Virginia
When it comes to keeping Virginia’s construction, agriculture, and infrastructure projects moving, heavy hauling plays a vital role. From transporting oversized equipment and machinery to delivering large loads of materials, these jobs require experience, coordination, and the right equipment to get it done safely and efficiently. At DLB, we take pride in being a trusted local hauler serving Virginia and surrounding areas. With our Landoll, lowboy, and flatbed trailers, we’re equipped to handle a wide range of hauling needs — from farm machinery and excavators to structural materials and utility components — all with dependable service you can count on.
Heavy hauling is the transportation of large, oversized, or overweight loads that require specialized equipment and experience to move safely. It’s the backbone of many industries - from construction to farming - ensuring that the big pieces of the job get where they need to go. At DLB, our team has hauled everything from farm equipment and excavators to dozers and job materials across Virginia. Using our lowboy, landoll, and flatbed trailers, we’re equipped to handle a wide range of heavy loads - including our lowboy with a 149,000-pound blanket permit and Landoll with a 120,000-pound blanket permit - allowing us to move equipment efficiently and within Virginia’s oversize and overweight hauling regulations.
Moving big loads across Virginia isn’t always simple - our state’s terrain and weather can make each haul a little different. From navigating mountain grades and narrow rural backroads to timing deliveries through busy city routes, heavy hauling requires careful planning and experience behind the wheel. Seasonal weather also plays a big role - snow, ice, and heavy rain can quickly impact schedules and road conditions. That’s why our team takes the time to plan every route in detail, staying flexible and focused on safety. We’re familiar with VDOT’s permitting process for oversized and overweight loads, and we handle those requirements efficiently to keep projects on schedule. Over the years, we’ve encountered plenty of tricky routes, and our drivers know how to adjust and find the safest, most efficient path to get the job done right.
When you choose DLB, you’re working with a team that knows Virginia - from the backroads to the busy corridors that keep local projects moving. Our local knowledge, attention to detail, and dependable scheduling mean your load gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. We understand that every job is different, so we provide personalized service tailored to your project’s needs, whether it’s a one-time haul or ongoing site support.
Beyond heavy hauling, our crews handle excavation, demolition, utility installation, and site prep, giving customers a single, reliable source for full project support. We’ve built long-term relationships with contractors, farmers, and municipalities by doing what we say we’ll do — every time. As one customer put it, “DLB is the kind of team you can count on — they show up ready to work and get the job done right.”

Whether it’s a short local move or a long-distance delivery, we bring the same level of planning, permitting expertise, and reliability to every job — ensuring your equipment or materials arrive safely, wherever they need to go.
