Added axle lines · Canada and the United States
- Beyond legal weight
- Engineered per piece
- Permitted per jurisdiction
Axle lines added for the heaviest loads
Added axle lines spread the load so freight beyond legal weight can be permitted and moved
Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Weight spread across more axles
Regulators limit weight per axle, not per load — more axle lines is what makes an overweight piece permittable.
Engineered to the piece
The configuration is worked out for the specific load and the specific route, not taken off a standard sheet.
Permitted per jurisdiction
Every province and state sets its own limits, so the permit package is assembled for the whole route.
About multi-axle transport
Axle lines are how weight becomes legal. Jurisdictions cap what each axle may put on the road rather than what a load may weigh in total, so a piece beyond standard legal weight is carried by adding axles and spreading the same tonnage across more of them.
The configuration is engineered rather than selected. Jeeps and boosters are added ahead of and behind the trailer, spacing is set to the limits along the route, and the whole arrangement is submitted with the permit application. Tunnel boring machine sections, power transformers, large vessels, and heavy mining equipment are the usual freight.
These moves are planned before they are booked. Weights are confirmed, the route is surveyed for bridges and turns, permits are pulled for each province and state, and escorts are arranged to the conditions those permits set. The engineering is the reason the load can move at all — it is not paperwork added afterwards.
The other trailers we operate
Where a multi-axle configuration stops, one of these starts.
Flatbed
The standard open deck.Steel, machinery, and building materials on an open deck, loaded by crane or forklift from any side. Suited to freight up to around 48,000 lbs that fits within legal height.
Step-Deck
A lower deck for taller freight.The main deck sits lower than a flatbed, adding clearance for equipment and crated cargo that would run over-height on a standard deck — so taller loads move legally without permits.
Double-Drop & Lowboy
A low center well for over-height machinery.The deck drops between the axles to carry tall machinery low to the road, keeping over-height freight under the bridges and wires along the route.
RGN
Removable gooseneck — equipment drives on.The gooseneck detaches so excavators, cranes, and other tracked or wheeled equipment drive onto the deck under their own power. Configurable to around 150,000 lbs with added axles.
Extendable
Decks that stretch for long freight.Extendable flatbeds and step-decks stretch to carry beams, pipe, and other long freight that overhangs a standard deck, with permits and escorts arranged to match the length.
Tank & Specialized
Purpose-built trailers for energy cargo.Cryogenic tankers and purpose-built platforms carry LNG and other energy-sector cargo under the handling and safety protocols the freight requires.What moves on a multi-axle configuration
- Tunnel boring machine sections
- Power transformers and substation equipment
- Large pressure vessels and reactors
- Heavy mining equipment and plant
- Crawler cranes and counterweights
- Modular and skid-mounted process units
Where multi-axle moves run
Planned moves rather than scheduled capacity — lead time is set by permits, not by equipment.
Québec and Ontario
Owned equipment, and the corridor where most permitted moves originate.
Western Canada
Contracted heavy haul for mining, energy, and industrial projects.
Atlantic Canada
Project cargo arriving through Halifax and Saint John.
United States
Cross-border moves permitted state by state along the route.
Axle lines added for the heaviest loads
Multi-axle configurations carried the tunnel boring machine sections and transformers in the projects gallery.

There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how incredible this company is. I have been using them for well over a year, almost every day.
As a carrier, I’ve been doing business with Rite Way for over 7 years. Definitely one of the best brokers.
Rite Way Freight is very professional and organized. We’ve been working with them for 5 years.
Great services, unbeatable prices, hassle-free experience. They get it right every time.
