Moving machinery in and out of Long Beach

Long Beach is home to the Port of Long Beach, one of the two San Pedro Bay ports, and I-710 and I-405 feed trucks to rail yards and warehouses across the Inland Empire. Machines leave Long Beach on I-710, I-405, I-605 and CA-91, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a Caltrans permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in California

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Caltrans bars permit loads wider than 10 feet from weekday peak-hour curfew windows in the Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento areas, and loads that need a pilot car are barred from travel during set afternoon and evening hours around seven holidays, including Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.

Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Long Beach, CA

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Long Beach?

In California they come from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), 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 Long Beach?

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 California?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Long Beach, the closest neighbor is Arizona: Yuma is about 220 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Nevada is next, through the Nevada Department of Transportation, Over Dimensional Vehicle Permits (NDOT).
