i have a 50 ft beam.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Your local steel fabricator should be able to advise on shipping. They must do it all the time.

Here's another recent thread discussing this:

what should i put on the structural notes since field welding galvanized steel could be problematic?
thanks,

i guess this is good enough.

Just find a local supplier or Google it and you will find all kinds of sources.
Do what others suggest - do not field weld it.

boss wants it cut. part of the beam will go inside existing equipment structure. may encounter erection problem.
thanks anyway.

We ship long pipes all over the country. Our standard length before things get difficult (extra cost, permits, etc) is 53'. 50' should be no problem.

Basic requirements: Remove galvanizing at least one inch from weld location, or specify that this area not be galvanized. When welding is completed, clean and coat with zinc-rich paint.

For galvanized coating, repair field damage and site welds with two coats of a two pack epoxy primer polyamide zinc-rich paint coating containing a minimum of 92% zinc dust in the dry film which which will be built up to 75 micrometres minimum.
Don't ask me what that actually means.
RE: what is the max length for galvanizing and transportation in US
Not that it matters but if I get it well, your notes refer to the case of repairing the damaged galvanizing part by applying paint (epoxy primer)which means that said part will be coloured and this may not be accepted in some cases.
In Europe we use open trucks for transporting beams, rails etc. longer than 40'- it's not everyday routine but not so rare either.
