When the job demands more power, torque, and durability, you need a truck built to handle it. At Peach State Truck Centers, we carry a wide selection of heavy haul trucks, designed to tackle the most demanding loads on the road, on the job site, and everywhere in between.
Whether you're transporting oversized machinery, hauling aggregate, or running long-distance heavy freight, choosing the right truck makes all the difference in performance, fuel efficiency, and uptime.
What Is a Heavy Haul Truck?
A heavy haul truck is engineered to move extremely large or overweight loads—often exceeding the legal weight limit for standard semi-trucks. These trucks typically feature:
- Reinforced frames and suspensions
- High-horsepower engines
- Enhanced cooling systems
- Multiple axles for weight distribution
- Specialized configurations like day cabs or heavy-duty sleepers
Heavy haulers are commonly used in industries like construction, mining, energy, and oversized equipment transport.
Popular Heavy Haul Models We Carry
At Peach State Truck Centers, we understand that every haul is different—and so is every truck. That’s why our inventory features a wide selection of heavy haul trucks for sale from top manufacturers, each designed for specific job demands:
- Freightliner Cascadia® – The Cascadia is one of the most trusted names in long-haul performance. For heavy haul applications, select models are equipped with Detroit® DD15 or DD16 engines, offering up to 600 horsepower and advanced integrated powertrains that provide exceptional torque and fuel efficiency. Ideal for hauling heavy loads over long distances with a smooth, comfortable ride.
- Freightliner 122SD – Designed specifically for severe-duty and heavy haul applications, the 122SD is built with a strong chassis, reinforced frame rails, and high-capacity axles. It’s a go-to choice for industries like oil & gas, logging, or oversized equipment transport, where maximum durability and power are non-negotiable.
- Western Star 49X and 57X – These models bring together premium driver comfort with rugged capability. The 49X, in particular, is known for its lightweight yet strong vocational frame and customizable spec options—making it ideal for complex configurations like multiple axles or lift axles required in heavy hauling. The 57X blends power and technology for fleets looking for smart performance with modern features.
- Ford F-750 – A versatile medium-duty option that can handle heavy regional hauling or vocational jobs like dump, towing, or flatbed transport. When upfitted for specific work applications, the F-750 can be a cost-effective choice for operations needing maneuverability and power without the size of a full Class 8 tractor.
We offer both new and used heavy haul trucks for sale, many of which qualify for extended warranties, SelecTruckscertification, and flexible financing options — so you can hit the road with confidence.
Choosing the Right Heavy Hauler for Your Fleet
Not all heavy haul applications are the same. When evaluating which truck is right for your operation, consider:
- Weight & Load Type: Understand your load requirements, including both your gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and gross combination weight rating (GCWR). Heavy haul trucks are designed to move loads exceeding 80,000 lbs, but exact specs and legal limits vary by state and load type. If you regularly transport oversized or overweight freight, you’ll want a truck that can be equipped with additional axles and suspension upgrades.
- Terrain & Operating Environment: Will your truck mostly drive interstate highways, rural roads, or off-road construction sites? Long-haul highway routes may benefit from aerodynamic models like the Cascadia, while rugged terrain or job sites might require higher ground clearance, reinforced suspension, and vocational setups like those found in the Western Star 49X or 122SD.
- Cab Configuration: Think about how your drivers use the truck. For overnight or multi-day hauls, a sleeper cab with space for rest and storage is essential. For local or short-haul applications, a day cab is lighter, more fuel efficient, and easier to maneuver. Some models also offer extended day cabs for a balance between space and practicality.
- Fuel Efficiency & Maintenance: Total cost of ownership is critical in heavy haul operations. Look for models that offer optimized fuel efficiency without sacrificing torque, like those with Detroit or Cummins powertrains. Ease of maintenance, parts availability, and uptime support are equally important—especially when downtime directly impacts your bottom line. Choosing a model with a strong dealer network (like Freightliner or Western Star) can make a big difference in long-term success.
