Military Equipment Shipping

Moving a group of military Humvees isn’t just about logistics — it’s about discipline, coordination, and handling high-value assets with the respect they deserve. When we were called on to arrange transport for several HMMWVs (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles), we understood the assignment from the jump: no errors, no delays, and absolutely no leaks.

Each Humvee in the convoy weighed in at roughly 7,500 lbs (3,400 kg), with a length of about 15 feet, a width of 7 feet, and a height of just over 6 feet. These were M998-series units, fully outfitted for tactical operations — including reinforced armor, blackout systems, and GPS/radio comms — and were fully operational for self-loading and offloading, a key requirement for Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping.

Domestic pickups took place at multiple secure locations. Because this was military cargo, every U.S. driver we dispatched was required to hold a TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) — allowing access to military bases and restricted zones within ports. No TWIC, no job. Period.

Once all vehicles were staged at a secure East Coast port, we coordinated Ro-Ro shipping with a government-approved ocean carrier. Ro-Ro was chosen not just for efficiency, but for minimizing the chance of damage. No lifting by crane, no disassembly — just straight roll-on using the vehicles’ own power, which was verified by our team prior to shipment.

Export paperwork was handled in-house and reviewed multiple times to ensure compliance with all regulations. This included:

• Bill of Lading

• ITAR registration and filing

• Military End Use Statement

• ECCN classification

• Shipper’s Letter of Instruction (SLI)

• Customs Power of Attorney for release

As for their final destination? Classified. All we can say is the vehicles were delivered safely overseas, received by authorized personnel, and are now active where they’re needed most.

In missions like this, precision is everything. And that’s exactly what we bring — from the first mile to the last.
