Questions about shipping in West Memphis, AR
Who handles permits for a machine leaving West Memphis?
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 West Memphis?
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 West Memphis, the closest neighbor is Tennessee: Memphis is about 10 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT). Mississippi is next, through the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Permit & Motor Carrier Division (MDOT).
