Moving machinery in and out of Tucson

Tucson sits on I-10 between Phoenix and New Mexico and at the I-19 junction that runs south to Nogales, giving trucks a direct interstate route to the Mexican border crossings. Machines leave Tucson on I-10 and I-19, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ADOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Tucson, AZ

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Tucson?

In Arizona they come from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and if the route crosses other states each one issues its own. They are arranged before pickup, for the exact route.

Can you pick up at a jobsite in Tucson?

Yes. Tell us whether there is a ramp, a forklift or a crane for loading and what the access is like; the carrier confirms it with you before arrival.

What if the machine leaves Arizona?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Tucson, the closest neighbor is New Mexico: Las Cruces is about 250 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). Nevada is next, through the Nevada Department of Transportation, Over Dimensional Vehicle Permits (NDOT).
