What Does Ag Equipment Transport Cover?
Everything a working farm buys, sells or repositions: tractors from out-of-state dealers, combines between seasons, planters and tillage tools from auctions, and full line relocations. Ag hauling means wide loads, rural pickups and seasonal deadlines — all standard territory for the carriers we assign.
Ag Operations We Serve
- Row-crop and grain operations
- Ranches and livestock operations
- Custom harvesters moving with the season
- Ag dealers trading across states
- Hobby farms buying at auction
How It Works
Tell Us About the Machine
Make, model, weight and dimensions. If you have a spec sheet or photos, even better.
We Plan Trailer & Permits
Our team matches the trailer — RGN, lowboy, step deck or flatbed — and coordinates any oversize permits the route requires.
Loading & Transport
The carrier loads, secures and hauls the equipment. Drive-on machines use ramps; inoperable units are winched or lifted.
Jobsite Delivery
The equipment is delivered to the yard, dealer or jobsite, offloaded and confirmed complete.
Seasons Don’t Wait on Freight
Planting and harvest windows are hard deadlines. Tell us when the machine must be in the field and we schedule placement backwards from that date — including permit lead time for wide loads — so the equipment is working when the weather says go.
Cost Factors
Heavy equipment pricing is driven by the machine and the route. These are the factors our dispatch team checks before quoting:
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Weight | Trailer requirement and axle configuration |
| Width & height | Oversize permit requirements |
| Distance | Line-haul cost |
| Loading capability | Whether ramps, a winch or a crane are needed |
| Route restrictions | Bridges, clearances and escort requirements |
How Long Does It Take?
Most equipment moves are matched with a carrier within a few days of booking — often faster on busy lanes. Transit time depends on distance, route and equipment: regional moves often deliver in 1–3 days, while coast-to-coast shipments average 7–10 days. Your logistics specialist confirms a realistic pickup window when you book and keeps you updated through delivery.
Insurance & Safety
Every carrier in the Dobie network is vetted for active operating authority and insurance before a load is assigned. Your equipment is covered by the carrier's cargo insurance from pickup to delivery, and our dispatch team verifies the certificate of insurance before every dispatch — not once a year.
Where We Coordinate It
Dobie coordinates heavy equipment transport across all 50 states, with deep operating experience in Texas, the South Texas border region and cross-border routes into Mexico. Wherever the pickup and the delivery are, one team manages the entire move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move equipment during harvest rush?
Yes — seasonal surges are known territory. Book as early as the date is known; capacity tightens exactly when everyone needs it.
Do you handle wide ag equipment?
Wide is normal in ag: combines, planters and duals all run permitted width routinely. The folded/transport spec drives the plan.
Can you pick up at a farm, not a terminal?
Rural pickups are half of ag hauling — approach, gates, turning room and ground conditions get coordinated with the driver in advance.
Auction to farm — how fast?
Typically within the auction’s removal window. Send the lot details as soon as you win and we schedule around the yard’s release process.
