If your shipment is:

• More than 11 feet high
• More than 11 feet wide
• More than 60 feet long
• Shorter than 18 feet long (a "concentrated" load)
• Heavier than 150,000 lbs.

then it is considered "dimensional" and requires special handling.


The first step to shipping a dimensional load is to complete the Clearance Request Form to have your shipment evaluated for clearance and routing options.

• Clearance Request Form
  Request clearance and routing evaluation for a dimensional shipment, and receive a CSXT Clearance File Number.



• Price Request Form
  Submit a price request form for a dimensional shipment.



• Ordering Equipment
  If your dimensional load is longer than 18 feet and weighs more than 190,000 lbs., or shorter than 18 feet and weighs more than 140,000 lbs., order a heavy duty flat car.
  
  If you need a standard rail car, contact John Sheller at 904-359-7676.
