Moving machinery in and out of Denver

Denver is where I-25 and I-70 cross and is the main distribution hub for the Rocky Mountain region, with a large international airport and rail yards, and weekday rush-hour curfews apply to oversize loads on the metro freeways. Machines leave Denver on I-25, I-70, I-76 and I-225, and a load taller than 14 ft 6 in needs a CDOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Colorado

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Colorado bars oversize loads from listed Denver-area freeway and arterial segments from 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, from travel between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and, for loads wider than 14 feet, from moving in darkness unless a special permit allows it.

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

Mexico

Shipping from Denver to Mexico

Loads from Denver bound for Mexico are coordinated through the Texas crossings at Laredo and Pharr. The nearer one, Laredo, is about 900 miles from Denver in a straight line, and customs brokers on both sides of the border handle the paperwork.

Questions about shipping in Denver, CO

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Denver?

In Colorado they come from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), 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 Denver?

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 Colorado?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Denver, the closest neighbor is Wyoming: Cheyenne is about 95 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Commercial Carrier and Ports of Entry (Wyoming Department of Transportation) (WHP). Nebraska is next, through the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Permits Office (NDOT).
