What Is Specialty Truckload Shipping?

Specialty truckload shipping refers to the transportation of cargo that requires non-standard handling, equipment, or routing. This may include:

-Oversized or overweight equipment
-Fragile or high-value machinery
-Hazardous materials (non-class 1)
-Loads requiring temperature control or climate protection
-Time-sensitive or escorted loads

These shipments often involve extra planning, permits, routing, or equipment, and require a logistics partner with expertise, attention to detail, and full regulatory compliance.

At Sullivan Brothers Trucking, we’ve built our reputation on handling these challenges with professionalism and care.
