Harris Heavy Haul

What Harris Heavy Haul does

Harris Heavy Haul (HHH) is a privately held, specialized B2B transportation and logistics provider focused on overdimensional and overweight project cargo in North America. Founded by Milton Harris — an industry veteran active since 1994 — the company opened for business on September 1, 2023, and operates from a single rail-served facility at 359 Mission Industrial Dr, Floresville, TX, positioned near the San Antonio-Laredo-Houston triangle with direct interstate access to I-10, I-35, and I-37. The company employs 8 people and serves industrial, manufacturing, construction, and energy clients requiring transport of equipment, machinery, turbines, transformers, and other large structural components that exceed standard shipping dimensions.

The company's core technology stack is asset-heavy rather than software-led. It comprises specialized trailers (multi-axle up to 200,000 lbs; dual-lane up to 500,000 lbs), flatbed and step deck configurations, 500T jack-and-slide rigging gear, forklifts rated to 36,000 lbs, on-site rail spur via a Gravity Rail partnership providing direct UPRR and BNSF access, and operational telematics including computerized 24/7 GPS cargo tracking with daily status reporting plus internet-accessible 24/7 camera monitoring. No API, SDK, mobile app, or AI/ML capability is disclosed.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven, with pricing varying by cargo weight, dimensions, distance, routing requirements, and regulatory complexity. Revenue is generated through four interconnected service lines: Specialized Transportation, Rigging & Rail, Secure Storage, and access to the Rail-Served Loading Site. Distribution is direct enterprise sales — phone and email outreach via the president — supported by a WordPress-based company website and basic social sharing on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. No public pricing tiers, named customers, awards, patents, certifications, external funding, or investor relationships have been disclosed.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Sarens: Global heavy lifting, engineered transport, and rigging specialist. Sarens competes for the same large industrial, energy, and infrastructure project cargo as HHH, with much broader international footprint but overlapping super-heavy capability.
• Wagenborg: International heavy lift and specialized transport provider with North American operations. Wagenborg competes for super-heavy and project cargo work with multimodal capabilities (road, water, rail) comparable to HHH's rail-served site model.
• Landstar System: Large asset-light freight network with a dedicated heavy/specialized haul division (Landstar Heavy Haul). While broader in scope, the heavy haul segment competes directly for oversize/overweight project loads and offers shippers national capacity HHH cannot match alone.

Others

• Miller Industries: Manufacturer of specialized heavy duty towing and recovery vehicles and trailers. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — Miller supplies specialized trailers into the same heavy haul / rigging ecosystem where HHH operates, and represents a potential equipment counterpart or supplier.

Regional players

• Deep South Crane & Rigging: U.S. Gulf Coast/regional provider of crane, rigging, and heavy haul transport services. Comparable service mix to HHH in the Gulf/Mexico corridor, serving overlapping industrial and energy customer segments regionally.

Direct peers

• Bennett Motor Express: Specialized heavy haul trucking carrier focused on oversized and overweight loads. Bennett is a direct competitor in the specialized/oversize trucking category that HHH serves, with similar equipment profile (multi-axle trailers) and customer base.
• Barnhart Crane & Rigging: One of the largest U.S. providers of heavy lifting, rigging, and specialized transportation services. Barnhart directly competes with HHH for rigging and overdimensional project cargo, with broader fleet and yard network but overlapping core service offering.
• Anderson Trucking Service (ATS): Specialized heavy haul and flatbed carrier serving construction, energy, and industrial customers. ATS competes head-to-head with HHH in moving oversized equipment, wind components, and project cargo across long distances.
• TNT Crane & Rigging: Crane, rigging, and specialized transportation provider serving industrial, energy, and infrastructure markets. TNT overlaps with HHH's integrated transport + rigging offering and competes for similar project cargo customers.
• Emmert International: Specialized heavy haul, rigging, and industrial transport company serving heavy lift and project cargo customers. Emmert overlaps directly with HHH's combination of rigging services and super-heavy transportation.
