How do you transport? Can they go in one piece? Yes, no and maybe! Let's talk about yes. The U.S. highway system restricts loads to 12-14 ft. wide X 80 ft. long X 13'6" high. This is with permits, front and rear guard cars with beacons. One time I felt like the president. We shut down 4 bridges and one tunnel taking a job to the Navy in Portsmouth, Va. The state police were cordial but they wanted us thru the bridges and tunnels fast. All total we used about 12 different state troopers and 4 county sheriffs in a 150 mile trip. But, back to reality, if your truss is 12 feet tall and 60 feet long, we can deliver it one piece. If it's bigger, we normally break the truss in manageable subsections to be joined at the job site. Please note that we fully assemble the truss at the plant, video tape the assembly, mark the truss and disassemble it, video taping that process also. We then send out the truss with the video tape to the customer. If needed, we can send a representative from the factory to help in the assembly in the field. However, this has only had to happen one time, and after just a few minutes the contractor told our man to go home, after he saw how easy it was to reassemble the truss.
