D&J Towing handles heavy equipment hauling in Colorado for contractors, ranchers and equipment owners who need a machine moved between a yard, a dealer and a job site. We have worked the foothill roads out of Evergreen since 1984, and our Wyoming hauling runs around Wheatland and the I-25 corridor.
Hauling is planned transport: the machine runs, it just cannot drive itself down the highway. That makes it a different call from a tow, where a vehicle has broken down or crashed. Most of our hauling work falls into one of the two jobs below.
Moving excavators, skid steers, loaders and other machines from the yard to the job, between job sites, or back to a dealer or rental yard. Foothill job sites often sit up steep, winding roads with tight turns, so the route and the loading spot get worked out before the truck leaves.
Call for this whenA machine has to be on site by a set day, or a crew is waiting on it to start.
Construction haulingGetting a machine off a trailer and set down where it needs to be, at sites with tight access or no loading dock. Offloading is often the hardest part of a delivery on a sloped lot or a narrow ranch road, so we plan it with the haul from the first call.
Call for this whenEquipment is arriving and there is no ramp, dock or level spot to unload it.
OffloadingMachine sunk, stuck or tipped
A machine bogged down in spring mud or tipped on a slope needs recovery before anyone can haul it. Recovery and hauling can run as one job.
The same machine is an easy move on flat ground and a careful one on a mountain grade. These are the things we look at before a load goes out.
I-70 west of Morrison, US 285 and CO 74 climb and wind. A tall, heavy load changes how a truck brakes and turns, so the route is picked for the load, not just for distance.
A load over Colorado's legal width, height or weight needs a CDOT oversize or overweight permit, applied for through CDOT's COOPR system, before it moves. City and county roads can also need local permission.
Colorado's commercial chain law season on I-70 runs September 1 to May 31. Winter moves get planned around storms and closures.
CDOT bars most permitted extra-legal loads from travel between 6 AM and 9 PM on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. If your move falls near one, tell dispatch early.
Fill in what you know. The move sheet builds as you type, points you to the right service, and lets you copy the details or email them to us. Nothing is sent until you choose to send it.
Pick the one that fits best. A stuck machine is a recovery first.
Type, make and model. Mention tracks or tires and any attachments going with it.
The operating weight is on the data plate or in the operator's manual. Width and height with attachments matter as much as weight.
Street address, town, or the nearest road and mile marker for a rural site.
Dirt or gravel roads, steep drives, gates, low wires or branches, and where a truck can turn around. Then the day it has to be there.

Call it in 24/7Every move follows the same order. The more we know at step one, the fewer surprises at step four.
Dispatch takes the machine, its weight and size, both addresses, the access at each end and the date it has to be there.
The loaded size and weight are checked against Colorado's legal limits. Anything over needs its permit in hand before the truck rolls.
The machine goes on with the bucket or blade lowered and is secured to the trailer at its tie-down points before it leaves the site.
At the drop-off the machine comes off where the site allows and is set where you need it, so your crew can get to work.
Under FMCSA cargo securement rules (49 CFR 393.130), tracked or wheeled equipment weighing 10,000 lb or more must travel with accessories such as shovels fully lowered and secured, held by at least four tiedowns. Have the machine parked with its attachments ready to come down.
Our Wyoming operation is built around Wheatland and the I-25 corridor, and it is heavy-duty and commercial work: towing, recovery and hauling. Jobs there are spread across long distances, so a machine that has to cross the state line or move between Wyoming sites runs through the same dispatch number as a Colorado move.
See the towns and corridors we cover on our heavy hauling in Wyoming page.
One dispatch number for both states: (303) 674-0198.
If your machine is a truck or trailer that has broken down rather than equipment that needs moving, our heavy-duty towing page is the better place to start.
We haul construction and farm machines such as excavators, skid steers, loaders, tractors and attachments. Whether a given machine fits depends on its weight and size with attachments, so give dispatch those numbers and we will tell you.
Only if the loaded truck is over Colorado's legal limits. The legal width is 8 feet 6 inches and the legal height is 14 feet 6 inches, and gross weight is limited to 80,000 lb on interstates. A load over any of those needs a CDOT oversize or overweight permit before it moves.
The distance, the weight and size of the machine, whether a permit is needed, how hard the access is at each end, whether offloading is part of the job, and the timing. Call with the details and dispatch can quote the move.
Yes. Our Wyoming work is heavy-duty and commercial, built around Wheatland and the I-25 corridor, and it includes hauling. For a move into or across Wyoming, give dispatch both addresses and the date so the route can be planned.
Call dispatch any time at (303) 674-0198, or email the details to djtowing699@gmail.com. Include the machine, its weight and size, both addresses, the site access and the date you need it moved.
Tell us what it is, how much it weighs and where it has to go, and we will plan the haul with you. For a move days or weeks out, you can also email the details from our contact page.
