Questions about shipping in Texarkana, AR

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Texarkana?

In Arkansas they come from the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), 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 Texarkana?

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 Arkansas?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Texarkana, the closest neighbor is Louisiana: Shreveport is about 65 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Truck Permit Office (DOTD). Texas is next, through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Carrier Division (TxDMV).
