Secondly, it is crucial to have the proper paperwork. This includes permits and licenses to show that one is permitted to transport heavy or oversized equipment. Doing this ensures that the government’s laws and regulations are followed.

Thirdly, one must ensure that their load is positioned correctly. It can be risky to haul construction equipment when the load is not balanced. Ensure there is balance and no axle is overloaded. Next, secure the equipment. Heavy truck drivers should ensure that they lock the equipment using chains, straps, and other devices. Checking the transport route is also very important during construction hauling. The driver needs to ascertain the safety of the route and check for any restrictions.
