Heavy Haul Route Survey Specialist
Location: Midwest (Remote/Home-Based with Travel)
Travel: Frequent throughout the Midwest
Employment Type: Full-Time
Help Move the Loads Others Can't. Our Heavy Haul division is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Route Survey Specialist to help plan and execute the transportation of oversized and overweight freight safely and efficiently. This isn't a desk job. You'll be in the field evaluating routes, solving problems before they happen, and working alongside operations to ensure every move is successful. If you've worked in heavy haul, oversize transportation, permitting, pilot car operations, or specialized logistics, we'd like to talk with you.
What You'll Do
  • Conduct route surveys for oversized and overweight freight throughout the Midwest
  • Measure overhead clearances, bridge restrictions, turning radii, railroad crossings, and roadway conditions
  • Identify potential obstacles and develop practical routing solutions
  • Coordinate with state DOTs, utility companies, municipalities, and permit agencies as needed
  • Prepare detailed route survey reports, photographs, maps, and recommendations
  • Work closely with Operations, Dispatch, Permit Specialists, and Drivers to ensure successful project execution
  • Travel regularly to survey routes before scheduled moves
  • Occasionally assist with customer site visits and project planning

Required Qualifications:
  • Strong understanding of oversize/overweight regulations
  • Ability to interpret permits and routing restrictions
  • Excellent problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable working independently in the field
  • Proficient with Google Earth, mapping software, GPS, and Microsoft Office
  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
  • Willingness to travel

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance
  • Fuel card
  • Company-paid travel expenses
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly expanding Heavy Haul division

Why Join Us?
Every oversized load presents a unique challenge. Our team is trusted to solve complex transportation problems that keep major infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy projects moving. If you enjoy working independently, thinking ahead, and being part of a team that moves freight others can't, we'd love to hear from you.
