No worries at all, we’ve got you covered. Our out-of-gauge specialists have moved the World’s largest floating granite ball for the Science Museum of Virginia (listed in the Guinness Book of World Records), the 2nd largest seated Abraham Lincoln statue in the world (a replica of the statue at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington), ships for the U.S. Navy, and so much more. When it comes to handling all the moving parts of a specialized shipment we are fearless. If you have over-dimensional cargo or special projects of any kind, take the worry out of your day and give us a call. Whether standard or complex, we deliver.
EXPEDITED
When Time is of the Essence
You have a delivery date that seems out of reach. We have team drivers. Problem solved.
Hours of service (HOS) regulations, established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), were developed to ensure overall road safety by keeping fatigued drivers off the public roadways. The current 14-consecutive-hour driving window allows commercial motor vehicle drivers to drive up to 11 hours after being off duty for 10 or more consecutive hours.
This time frame typically equates to approximately 500 miles per day. Now, imagine doubling that distance to 1000 miles per day by utilizing team drivers. When time is on the line, Cornerstone has team drivers ready to roll.
