Heavy Equipment Shipping from North Dakota to Texas
North Dakota's Bakken oil field generates heavy iron that cycles south to Texas for service, resale, and redeployment in the Permian Basin. This energy-corridor lane moves some of the biggest machines we haul.
Distance
1,300–1,700 miles
Typical transit
3–5 days
Main corridors
I-94 / I-29 / I-35 / US-83
Why this is a common corridor
Both states are major oil-producing regions. Equipment rotates between the Bakken and the Permian Basin as drilling activity shifts. Mining and construction surplus from North Dakota also flows to Texas auctions.
IronHaul Logistics runs open-deck freight between North Dakota and Texas with flatbed, step-deck, and RGN lowboy trailers. We handle all state permits, route planning, and escort requirements for oversize loads — one specialist from pickup to delivery, no load-board bidding wars.

Frequently asked questions
Can you handle Bakken oil-field equipment?
Yes — we move drill rigs, frac equipment, haul trucks, and other oil-field iron out of the Bakken regularly. Oversize and overweight loads are our specialty.
How do winter conditions affect shipping from North Dakota?
North Dakota winters are harsh. We plan around weather closures and stage loads when necessary. Some oil-field locations have seasonal road restrictions that we navigate with local knowledge.
