Service truck transport and drill rig hauling from auction yards, dealers, and jobsites.
We move mechanic trucks, utility trucks, field service vehicles, and drill rigs with the right trailer, securement, permits, and routing solved before pickup.
We frequently haul service trucks and drill rigs purchased from Ritchie Bros and IronPlanet auctions, plus direct pickups from municipal fleets, contractors, and energy jobsites.
Equipment we haul from auctions
We transport heavy equipment and support vehicles bought at auction, including single-unit purchases and multi-unit releases from the same yard.
- Excavators and mini excavators
- Bulldozers and loaders
- Skid steers and attachments
- Cranes and lift equipment
- Service trucks and mechanic trucks
- Utility trucks and field service vehicles
- Drill rigs for oilfield, water well, and geotechnical work
- Tractors and agricultural equipment
Whether it is a single machine or multiple units from the same auction yard, we coordinate pickup and delivery nationwide.
High-value auction freight
Service truck and drill rig transport
We regularly move service trucks and drill rigs from auction yards and job sites across the country. These loads often need specialized handling because mounted compressors, booms, mast height, and onboard tooling can change the trailer plan fast.
- Proper trailer selection for step deck, RGN, or lowboy capacity
- Securement for mounted compressors, booms, reels, and tooling
- Permit checks and routing review before pickup windows open
- Coordination with auction yards for release numbers and loading access
If the truck or rig triggers oversize permits, we line them up before dispatch. If the load needs a lowboy or RGN, we build that into the quote instead of forcing a standard trailer. When you need to get it picked up quickly, we work the yard release and trailer fit at the same time.

Common pickups we coordinate
Auction yards
Ritchie Bros, IronPlanet, dealer yards, fleet liquidations, and municipal resale lots where release timing and yard rules matter.
Jobsites and field locations
Oilfield pads, drilling sites, utility projects, and maintenance yards where mounted equipment and uneven access affect loading plans.
Trailer fit and routing
Service bodies, mast assemblies, and crane booms can turn a routine pickup into an over-height or overweight move. We verify dimensions early so the trailer, escort, and permit plan match the real load.
Roll-on and yard access
When a unit can drive on, and when it cannot.
A lot of mechanic trucks and field service vehicles can roll onto the right trailer, but mounted booms, weak tires, uneven ground, or auction-yard rules can still change the plan. We verify loadability before dispatch so the driver is not improvising onsite.
- Drive-on units usually work best when axle weights and deck angle are known early
- RGN and lowboy options help when height or weight pushes past standard open-deck limits
- Auction yards and jobsites may require specific loading windows or escort vehicles onsite
- If a unit cannot roll on cleanly, we flag alternate loading support before the truck is sent

FAQ
What kinds of service trucks do you transport?
Mechanic trucks, lube trucks, utility bodies, field service trucks, compressor trucks, and other mounted service units bought at auction or moved between jobsites.
Do you haul drill rigs from auction yards?
Yes. We regularly move oilfield, water well, geotechnical, and specialty drill rigs from auction yards, dealers, and project sites.
Do these loads need permits?
Often, yes. Mounted booms, mast height, and overall weight can trigger oversize permits, route checks, pilot cars, or trailer changes before dispatch.
Can service trucks or rig units roll onto the trailer?
Many service trucks can drive onto a step deck, RGN, or lowboy when axle weight, tire condition, and yard access are workable. Others need ramps, winching, or separate loading support depending on the unit and site conditions.
What trailer do you use for a mechanic truck or drill rig?
It depends on wheelbase, height, and weight. We commonly use step deck, RGN, or lowboy trailers and confirm clearances before pickup.
Can you coordinate auction-yard pickup?
Yes. We coordinate with auction staff for release details, loading windows, access rules, and any onsite contact requirements before the truck arrives.
