RGN Trucking Serving Los Angeles
Excavators, dozers, cranes and tall machinery that need the lowest deck on the road. A removable gooseneck (RGN) detaches at the front so equipment can drive or roll on, then rides low in the well. IZ Freight books RGNs and permits for shippers serving Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and the ports.

Oversize and Permits
California allows 14 ft overall height. With a well about 18 to 24 inches off the road, an RGN usually carries equipment up to about 11.5 to 12 ft tall without a height permit. Loads over 8'6" wide, over 80,000 lb gross or over legal height need oversize permits, and larger loads may need pilot cars and set travel times.
