PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVEAWAY SERVICES
Many of our clients inquire about the most affordable shipping options available at Tractor Transport. If the truck, machinery, or equipment you need to move can be driven to its destination, we provide a reliable driveaway service for eligible orders.
What is truck driveaway service?
Truck driveaway is a specialized service where professional drivers transport new, used, or rental trucks by driving them directly to their destination. This approach provides flexibility, speed and cost savings, making it ideal for manufacturers, dealers, and companies relocating their fleets.
How truck driveaway service works?
- The job is to drive the truck: In this context, "cargo" means the truck itself. Unlike regular trucking, where the focus is on the goods being transported in a trailer, here it's the truck that acts as the main item being carried.

- Specialized tools: Trucks can be transported by stacking them using specialized equipment, a process called "decking" or "piggybacking." Another method involves using boom trailers for specific types of trucks or equipment.
- Door-to-Door transport service: Truck drivers transport vehicles from the origin directly to their specified destinations, such as dealerships, plants, or auctions.

PEACE OF MIND WITH DRIVE-AWAY
At Tractor Transport, we understand that having a third party physically drive your equipment to its destination incurs a slightly higher level of risk. To remedy this, we grant only the most thoroughly trained operators permission to handle our clients' machinery, and we operate under the assurance of significant background checks and a thorough vetting process.
We insure the full amount of your machinery as a matter of policy, to give you the peace of mind you need to trust us with a significant investment of cargo. At Tractor Transport, we work closely with you to ensure that all parties understand the stakes and the terms of these delicate arrangements.
ADDRESSING COST DIFFERENCE TO HAULING
Owning a tractor or other piece of heavy equipment is a major investment, and shipping that cargo is another one. At Tractor Transport, we understand what goes into owning and operating heavy machinery, so when our clients have special considerations for their orders, we listen.
Our drive-away service involves entrusting your equipment to another operator who will independently transport it to your destination. This option is most typically used when the transport distance is in a range that makes sense for a given case, and a drive-away option typically ends up saving our clients money in the long run.
ADDRESSING COST DIFFERENCE TO HAULING
As with all of our services, Tractor Transport offers drive-away services reliably and affordably. Contact our certified customer service technicians or complete our order form to receive a quote and additional information about our drive-away shipping services.

TRACTOR TRANSPORT OFFERS AN EXTENSIVE RANGE OF TRAILER CHOICES TO HAUL YOUR AIR SEEDERS
FLATBED
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Our most versatile and commonly used trailer by far is the standard flatbed trailer, made evident by the sheer number of them on the road every day. A great aspect of flatbed trailer shipping is the stability of the bed and the fact that these common carriers come in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions. A flatbed trailer, as the name suggests, is marked by a flat trailer surface that's able to be loaded with stability by balancing and securing cargo on the outside edges of the trailer.

RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
The Removable Gooseneck (RGN) trailer has a detachable front end that turns the trailer into a ramp. Past the detachable section of the trailer, RGNs are equipped with a double drop formation that lends the payload an extra amount of height, usually around 12 extra inches. The variable nature of the RGN trailer allows it to accommodate cargo that is more difficult for less flexible trailers. Referred to as a "detach", the RGN is ideal for transporting less than standard cargo, equipment that is longer, taller, or otherwise a non-normal size.

EXT. RGN (REMOVABLE GOOSENECK)
TRANSPORT SERVICES
Similar to the standard Removable Gooseneck Trailer, the extended RGN has an added section for additional length and capacity for particularly tricky transport jobs. When cargo is too long for the standard Removable Gooseneck (RGN), we sometimes employ the extended RGN. Like the standard RGN, the back portion of the stretch RGN is removable, creating a convenient ramp. The extended RGN has a versatile extension feature that allows it to meet an increased number of length requirements for cargo.

DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A drop deck, or "step deck" trailer resembles a standard flatbed model with a single drop in order to give the trailer the capacity for more cargo height. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. This is especially advantageous when the payload exceeds the standard height requirements for a regular flatbed. For especially large or oddly sized pieces of equipment, the drop deck trailers present a uniquely ideal solution; tractors, farming combines and large construction and industrial equipment.

EXT. DROP DECK
TRANSPORT SERVICES
When a job necessitates a trailer that can carry an irregularly long piece of equipment or cargo, we employ the extended drop deck trailer. Like a flatbed with either a single or a double attached gooseneck, the extended drop deck gives the user capacity for additional height and length to meet the needs of a specific cargo load. Typically, the extended RGN is more flexible than the standard RGN, so it's only used when absolutely necessary.

LOWBOY
TRANSPORT SERVICES
A lowboy is one of the lowest trailers to the ground, as its name suggests. Many heavy hauling tasks are carried out with the help of the lowboy trailer because of its use for extremely large, heavy, and oversized or over-dimension equipment. Typically when you see a sign that says "Oversize Load" on the interstate, the cargo being hauled is done so with a lowboy trailer. Many shippers use lowboy models as their top choice for these jobs due to their capacity to carry extremely heavy weights of cargo, and their stability as the lowest, off-the-ground option.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Matteo Labelle at Nationwide Transport Services, LLC to arrange the transport of a tractor from Tennessee to Virginia. As someone who doesn't regularly deal with such logistics, the prospect was quite nerve-wracking, but Matteo made the entire experience an absolute pleasure. His communication skills and personality were truly outstanding. He was incredibly proactive in getting everything lined up, and his consistent, clear communication throughout the process was a breath of fresh air in today's world. It's rare to find such dedication and professionalism. I would highly recommend Nationwide Transport Services, LLC, and specifically Matteo, to anyone with transport needs.
