- This type of trailer features an extra-long flat deck that makes it possible to transport tall loads measuring up to 10’ high with ease.
- Double-Drop Trailer / Lowboy Trailer
- Featuring a well between the front and rear axles that sits extremely low to the ground, these trailers can accommodate even taller loads up to 12’ high with ease.
- Extendable RGNs

- Construction Equipment
- Cranes, crushers, dump trucks, excavators, backhoes, and specialized mining equipment are all essential pieces of equipment that provide the backbone of any construction site. Cowtown’s RGN carrier network is a strong fit for construction equipment shipping of this size.
- Heavy Trucking Transportation Equipment Hauling
- Tanks, boats, airframes, trailers, and fire trucks are powerful vehicles that can move independently or transport large cargo from one location to another. Carriers in our RGN network handle these and many other kinds of oversized vehicles, including railroad equipment shipping .
Frequently Asked Questions
- How can we get the best RGN freight rate per mile?
-
Routes traveled, trailer type, permits, time of year, fuel price, and accessorial charges affect the mile rate. To get the best rate, ensure you’re transporting the maximum capacity of freight at all times. At Cowtown Logistics, we strive to provide the most competitive rates for our clients.
