Moving machinery in and out of Los Angeles
Los Angeles is home to the Port of Los Angeles, which with the neighboring Port of Long Beach forms the busiest container port complex in the United States, and I-5, I-10, I-110 and I-710 carry the cargo inland. Machines leave Los Angeles on I-5, I-10, I-110, I-405 and I-710, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a Caltrans permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Los Angeles, CA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Los Angeles?
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 Los Angeles?
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 Los Angeles, the closest neighbor is Nevada: Las Vegas is about 230 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Nevada Department of Transportation, Over Dimensional Vehicle Permits (NDOT). Arizona is next, through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
