This Multi-load, Interstate Transport from Pennsylvania to Baltimore transport was very problematic with many challenges:

• Aerial wires, trees, bridges/overpasses
• Construction sites with road width restriction
• Traffic control plans
• State Permit approval process
• Route surveys, utilized one-way ramps
• Layover locations en route
• Steep grades and declines
• Transported three units at the same time
• The state of Maryland required the loads be transported at night; TUI illuminated all loads.

For this task, we employed our support team:

• A certified utility contractor to lift traffic lights, road signage, & electrical wires.
• Pilot cars for detecting aerial clearances.
• Traffic control with police escorts.

There were overpasses in the route with only 3″ of vertical clearance to spare. The trailers needed to be dropped nearly to the ground, and the utility contractor was needed to watch for clearance.

TUI delivered all six (6) cylinders without incident and according to schedule.
