Nationwide Transport Services LLC

Scope Of Work

We loaded this Phantom in Burlington VT and shipped it to Richmond, VA. We decided to transport this load on 3 separate trailers, 1 for the body, 2 for the wings, and a 3rd trailer for the vertical stabilizer frame and crated items including that included 2 fuel tanks, 2 pylons, 2 wing tips, 2 missile launchers, 4 wing flaps, 2 leading edge slats, 1 tail cone, 1 horizontal stabilizer, 2 access doors for under the wings, 3 wing top access panels, 6 LH fuselage panels, 6 RH fuselage panels, 3 under fuselage/wing panels, and even the LH/RH missile launcher!

 

We arranged loading and unloading on both pickup and delivery by arranging crane services with the proper insurance backed by our secondary contingency cargo insurance to be safe. Once loaded, we drove it at a safe speed a total  650 miles to VA. We provided 3 removable gooseneck trailers with escorts and pilot cars to travel across 6 states. Permits and escorts all obtained and coordinated by Heavy Haulers!

 

Maintaining a Legal Load.

This load took strategic position planning considering the odd size  each piece. One  those being the wings, which ended up slanting at an angle slightly wider than 90 degrees, closer to 110 degrees. At this angle, it sat under 12ft wide in order to avoid a route survey and police escorts. We used a lower lowboy trailer at 14 inches from the ground rather than 18 inches which significantly helped this transport stay a legal load.
