Moving machinery in and out of Ontario
Ontario sits in the Inland Empire at I-10 and I-15, with an international airport, rail intermodal connections and one of the largest concentrations of warehouses serving the Southern California ports. Machines leave Ontario on I-10, I-15 and CA-60, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a Caltrans permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Ontario, CA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Ontario?
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 Ontario?
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 Ontario, the closest neighbor is Arizona: Yuma is about 200 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).
