The specialised arm of the KHE group
Pacific Harbor handles the freight the other companies route away — anything that needs a permit, a survey or an escort. Oversize is not big standard freight; it is a separate discipline with its own body of law.
The truck is the easy part
Moving a 142,000 lb load 40 miles is a routing, permitting and escort problem long before it is a driving problem. Every state writes its own rules on width, height, weight, travel hours and escort thresholds, and a single missed clearance strands the load at a county line.
Keeping this work in its own company means the people filing the permits do nothing else — and a botched survey never rides on a general dispatcher’s busy afternoon.
Where the group sends what won’t fit
When drayage pulls an out-of-gauge box, or a customer ships project cargo, the move comes here. Pacific Harbor also transloads all container types coast-to-coast for import and export programs that outgrow a single warehouse.
CARES — passion, integrity, care of clients — on this end is a permit file a customer’s own compliance team can audit without a single gap.
Law first
