What Rinaudo Enterprises does

Rinaudo Enterprises, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy equipment transportation carrier founded in 1984 in Jacksonville, Florida, and operating in the heavy-haul segment since 1996. The company transports heavy construction and industrial equipment via a fleet of 60 late-model heavy haul trucks and 73 specialized trailers, including single drops, I-beams, and lowboy removable gooseneck (RGN) trailers, with 24 of the trucks configured on 4-axle chassis to move heavy loads in a single trip. Operations are anchored at a six-acre Jacksonville terminal featuring a six-bay truck/trailer shop, a separate paint and body shop, a loading dock, and equipment storage, which enables in-house fleet maintenance.

The company serves construction and industrial companies and equipment dealers and rental firms requiring oversize and overweight equipment movement across a primary 22-state corridor spanning Florida to Louisiana, up to Minnesota, and over to Pennsylvania, while being registered to operate in all 48 contiguous states. Annual oversize/overweight permits are pre-held in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Iowa, allowing loads to depart without permit-issuance delays. Same-day or next-morning pickup is offered on short notice, particularly within the Southeast.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee, per-load basis for heavy-haul transportation services, with pricing dependent on load type, distance, and permit requirements. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales driven by long-term customer and vendor relationships rather than digital channels, supported by a sales function, dispatch coordinators, a safety and recruiting team, in-house billing, and an online Quick Apply driver-recruitment portal.
