That\u2019s exactly what happened when Bruce was tasked with transporting a <strong>50-foot-long, 10-foot-8-inch-wide, 11-foot-6-inch-tall<\/strong> tank weighing <strong>68,000 pounds<\/strong>. It was a significant milestone in his career, and he handled it like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Right Trailer for the Job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving a load of this magnitude required the right equipment. Bruce used a <strong>RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Extendable Fontaine trailer<\/strong>, designed for hauling heavy and oversized freight. The extendable feature allowed for the extra length needed to accommodate the tank, while the RGN configuration made for easier loading and unloading. With a lower deck height, the trailer also ensured the load stayed within height restrictions along the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Journey: PA to La Baie, QC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transporting heavy and oversized freight is never as simple as hooking up and hitting the road. With its size and weight, this haul required <strong>escort vehicles<\/strong> to navigate safely through multiple states and across the Canadian border. Bruce took on the long journey from<strong> Pennsylvania, to La Baie, Quebec<\/strong>, covering hundreds of miles while following strict regulations for oversized loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Challenge and the Accomplishment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every haul of this scale comes with unique obstacles\u2014permits, routing, and maneuvering through tight spots. <strong>This was Bruce\u2019s biggest haul to date, and it pushed his skills to a new level.<\/strong> The combination of weight, size, and border-crossing logistics made it one of his most demanding jobs yet. From coordinating with escort teams to ensuring compliance with state and provincial laws, he managed every detail with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Bruce, this wasn\u2019t just another job\u2014it was a major achievement. His dedication and expertise ensured everything went smoothly, and we couldn\u2019t be prouder of the way he handled it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Another Successful Move for Reinsfelder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Reinsfelder, we take pride in handling oversized and heavy-haul challenges with precision. Whether it\u2019s tanks, equipment, or specialized freight, our team is always ready to go the extra mile. <strong>This haul was a prime example of the skill and expertise that sets us apart.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"472\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-472x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-472x1024.png 472w, https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-138x300.png 138w, https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-768x1665.png 768w, https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-709x1536.png 709w, https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1-945x2048.png 945w, https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/bruce-tank-3-1.png 1290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Reinsfelder, we\u2019re no strangers to oversized loads, but every now and then, a job comes along that truly stands [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":162,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oversized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":169,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161\/revisions\/169"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reinsfelder.com\/on-the-road\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
