What Qualifies as Project Cargo

Overdimensional, overweight, breakbulk, or out-of-gauge — if it doesn't fit a standard container or trailer, it's project cargo, and it's planned rather than just booked.

Over-dimensional: Exceeds standard container or trailer dimensions.
Overweight: Exceeds legal weight limits.
Breakbulk: Shipped in pieces, not in containers.
Planned movement: Requires permits and route planning.

When Standard Freight Is the Better Call

Not every large shipment is project cargo. Standard-dimension freight ships more economically as FCL, LCL, or standard truckload — we'll tell you which yours is before you pay for special handling.

Fits standard equipment: Containerized or standard truckload.
Conventional routing: No special permits or escorts.
Standard handling: Regular terminal and dock processes.
Honest recommendation: We tell you which yours is first.
