Donegal Services coordinated the heavy haul transport of a CAT D10 dozer along with bulk material delivery support. Using multi-axle lowboy trailers and our dump truck fleet, we ensured safe, compliant, and on-time delivery to keep the project moving.
Commitment to Details

About the Project

Donegal Services was contracted to transport a Caterpillar D10 track-type dozer to a major jobsite while simultaneously supporting the project with scheduled bulk material deliveries.

The CAT D10 is a high-horsepower production dozer weighing approximately 150,000+ pounds. Moving equipment of this scale requires specialized heavy haul logistics, multi-axle lowboy transport, route planning, and full DOT compliance coordination. Our team managed the entire process from secure loading to jobsite delivery, ensuring safe, efficient transport from start to finish.

During this project, Donegal proudly celebrated its Irish heritage and the All-Ireland GAA Final by updating equipment graphics in support of their team. The custom graphics reflected the company’s roots while reinforcing the culture that drives every project with discipline, teamwork, pride, and performance.

That mindset is what we call Flat Out Sir. It means showing up prepared, executing with precision, and delivering without excuses.

In addition to transporting the CAT D10, Donegal deployed its dump truck fleet to provide bulk aggregate and site material deliveries, keeping grading and site preparation operations moving without interruption.

Key Project Stats

  • Location: Chicagoland with interstate routing coordination
  • Equipment Hauled: Caterpillar D10 Dozer
  • Transport Method: Multi-axle lowboy trailer with permitting
  • Operating Weight: 150,000+ lbs
  • Additional Services: Bulk material and aggregate delivery
  • Fleet Utilized: Heavy haul tractors, multi-axle lowboys, tri-axle dump trucks
  • Completion: Safe, compliant, and on schedule

The Challenge

Transporting a CAT D10 dozer requires careful coordination and experience:

  • Oversized and overweight load permitting
  • Bridge clearance and weight-restricted route planning
  • Secure loading and unloading procedures
  • Tight construction timelines
  • Simultaneous equipment and material scheduling

This project demanded precision timing to ensure both the dozer and materials arrived exactly when needed to avoid costly downtime.

The Solution

Donegal’s heavy haul division handled permitting, routing, and transport logistics with experienced operators and properly rated multi-axle lowboy equipment.

Our dump truck fleet operated in coordination with the heavy haul schedule, ensuring materials were delivered in phases aligned with grading operations.

By combining equipment transport and material hauling under one experienced contractor, we reduced scheduling conflicts and improved overall project efficiency.

We don’t just move iron.
We move projects forward — Flat Out Sir.

Final Result

The CAT D10 dozer was delivered safely and fully compliant with DOT regulations. Bulk materials arrived on schedule, allowing the project team to maintain productivity and meet development timelines.

With over a decade of heavy haul and material transport experience, Donegal Services continues to provide dependable lowboy and dump truck services throughout Chicagoland and across the United States.

When oversized equipment needs to move and materials need to show up on time, Donegal delivers — Flat Out Sir.
