Vehicle & Equipment Hauling in St. Charles, MI
From the Field, the Job Site, or the Barn to Wherever It Needs to Be
Michigan lets a load travel without a permit up to 8 feet 6 inches wide and 13 feet 6 inches tall, and Saginaw County's 1,284 farms and construction trades keep plenty of equipment moving under those limits weekly. T&J's Towing & Hauling LLC covers vehicle and equipment hauling for St. Charles, MI, Chesaning, Saginaw, and the surrounding townships, transporting cars, trucks, skid steers, compact tractors, campers, and trailers on flatbeds and equipment trailers built for light and medium loads.
Planning the load starts before the truck leaves the yard, matching the trailer to the weight and dimensions, securing everything at rated tie-down points, and confirming the route clears low bridges and tight turns. Local farms, contractors, and households have trusted our family-owned hauling for 17+ years, and we tell you honestly when a piece of iron is too big for our trailers and needs a specialized heavy hauler instead.

Vehicle and Equipment Hauling We Handle
Car and Truck Hauling
Vehicles that run fine but need to move without adding miles, from a newly purchased pickup to a car headed to a distant relative, ride on a flatbed. Vehicle hauling secures the car at four points and delivers it exactly where you direct.
Skid Steer and Compact Equipment Hauling
Skid steers, mini excavators, compact loaders, and trenchers move between job sites more often than they work at any one of them. Compact equipment hauling loads the machine on a rated trailer and chains it down at the manufacturer's tie-down points.
Farm Equipment Hauling
Compact tractors, implements, sprayers, and utility vehicles need to reach the next field or the dealer's shop without crawling down M-52 at 15 mph. Farm hauling moves the equipment on a trailer, saving hours and keeping slow machinery off busy roads.
Camper and Trailer Transport
A travel trailer with a broken axle or a boat trailer with a seized hub is not going anywhere behind your truck. Camper and trailer transport gets the unit to the campground, storage lot, or repair shop safely.
Classic and Project Car Transport
Restorations and collector cars often do not run, steer, or have brakes, and every scratch matters. Project car transport uses winches, soft straps, and careful loading angles to move a valuable or unfinished vehicle without adding a single mark.
Scheduled Long-Distance Hauling
Bringing a vehicle or machine home from across the state calls for a planned trip rather than an emergency call. Scheduled long-distance hauling sets a pickup window, a route, and a delivery time, with the load secured for the full distance.
Why Choose Us for Vehicle & Equipment Hauling
Secured at Rated Points, Every Load
Chains and straps only work when they anchor to the right spots. Every vehicle and machine is tied down at rated points with the correct hardware and checked again after the first few miles, so nothing shifts on a rough county road.
Light and Medium Loads Done Properly
Our trailers and trucks are sized for cars, pickups, compact equipment, and campers, and we stay inside those limits. Working within the equipment's rating means your load rides safe and legal rather than pushing the edge of what a trailer can carry.
Hauling on Your Schedule
Farms, contractors, and families run on their own calendars, not ours. Pickups are booked for the window that suits your season or your project, and same-day moves are handled when a machine has to be somewhere by morning.
Familiar With Farm Season Pressure
Planting and harvest do not wait for a trailer to become available somewhere. Our operators understand exactly what a stalled tractor means in April or October and move farm equipment with the urgency that the growing calendar demands.
Never Brokered to a Stranger
Many hauling quotes come from brokers who hand your machine to whichever carrier bids lowest. Your equipment rides on our own trailer behind our own truck, driven by an operator who answers to us and to you directly.
Honest About What We Can Carry
A full-size excavator or a 12-foot-wide combine header is a job for a permitted heavy hauler, and we say so rather than overload a trailer. You get a straight answer about what fits our equipment and a referral when it does not.
Move the Iron Without Putting Miles or Risk on It
Whether it is a skid steer headed to the next job site across the county, a compact tractor going in for service, or a project car finally coming home, the move should be uneventful. T&J's Towing & Hauling LLC handles vehicle and equipment hauling across St. Charles, MI and Saginaw County with properly rated trailers, careful securement, and operators who have loaded farm iron and family cars alike for 17+ years, and who will tell you plainly when a load calls for someone bigger. Book your haul on our contact page and tell us what needs moving and where it is going.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is equipment transported?
Wheeled and tracked machines are driven or winched onto a flatbed or equipment trailer, positioned to balance the load over the axles, then chained or strapped at rated tie-down points. The operator checks clearances and securement again before leaving the site.
What counts as heavy machinery for transportation purposes?
Machines that exceed legal width, height, or weight limits, such as large excavators, dozers, and wide combines, are heavy haul and require permits and specialized trailers. Skid steers, compact tractors, and mini excavators usually fall within standard hauling limits.
Do I need a permit to haul oversized equipment in Michigan?
Loads over 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, or above legal weight need an MDOT permit and daylight-only travel. T&J's Towing & Hauling LLC in St. Charles, MI hauls within legal limits and says when a permit hauler is needed.
How do you secure equipment during transport?
Each load is tied down at the manufacturer's designated points with rated chains and binders, with additional straps for attachments and buckets lowered to the deck. The load is rechecked after the first several miles, since chains settle once the trailer starts moving.
How should I prepare my equipment for hauling?
Lower attachments, secure or remove loose items, note the fuel level, disconnect or tape down anything that could swing, and record any existing damage with photos. Have the destination contact and drop instructions ready so the operator can unload without delay.
How long does equipment transport take?
Local moves within Saginaw County are often completed the same day, while trips across the state depend on distance, loading time, and route restrictions. T&J's Towing & Hauling LLC gives you a pickup window and delivery estimate from St. Charles, MI when you book.
Is hauling different from emergency towing?
Yes. Hauling is scheduled transport of a vehicle or machine that may run perfectly well, planned around your timing and destination. Emergency towing responds to a breakdown or crash right now, with the priority on clearing the scene safely.
Can you haul a project car that does not run, steer, or stop?
Non-running project cars are winched onto the flatbed with the wheels rolling, or on skates if they are locked, then strapped at four points. Tell us whether the steering and brakes work so the operator arrives ready to load it correctly.
