At Team EJP, we're always looking for a good company to partner with. When we needed help with transporting water, sewer and drain products within the New England region in 1980, P.E.P. Transportation was formed with a single tractor trailer unit. As we grew, so did P.E.P., adding additional units as needed until they sought their independence in June 1985. When it gained its own operating authority, P.E.P. became a contract carrier within the contiguous United States and has been granted licensing authority in Quebec and Ontario provinces in Canada.

A Brief PEP Transportation Case Study
P.E.P. Transportation was contracted to help move two very large oversize loads for a single project. Two crane pieces needed to be shipped from Hermitage, Pennsylvania and delivered safely to Quincy, Massachusetts. The first load included a piece that was 107 feet long and 11 feet, 11 inches wide, making for an oversized load in all dimensions. The second load was barely under the limit on width at 8 feet, but was also 107 feet long. This type of load requires not only special permits and equipment, they also require drivers who are familiar with long loads and the dangers of high centering on city street and overpasses in hilly, low-lying areas. Because of PEP's focus on specialty loads, they were well equipped to handle this special task.
Each section of crane was loaded onto a stretch trailer, extended to 80 feet in order to accommodate the 107-foot length of each piece. Following loading, permits were ordered to take care of the legal requirements and line up assistance from state police vehicles in New York and Massachusetts. Two pilot cars were required to assist with each load, with two state police vehicles meeting each load at the state lines, New York and Massachusetts, to lead the load along route 90. Careful planning ensured a safe route to the Quincy, Massachusetts delivery site. PEP drivers Lewis Hanscom and Scott Bennet spent hours ensuring that their loads were secured properly and safe to be transported while Trooper Grant of the Massachusetts State Police helped coordinate vehicles that escorted each load to its destination safely, securely and on time.
