What shapes a move in Nevada

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Nevada oversize and overweight vehicles may not travel in hours of darkness (half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise), on weekends or during holiday hours unless the permit allows it, and single-trip permits on I-15 toward Las Vegas on Fridays and toward California on Sundays, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., are limited to 12 ft wide, 15 ft high and 110 ft long.

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

Questions about shipping in Elko, NV

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Elko?

In Nevada they come from the Nevada Department of Transportation, Over Dimensional Vehicle Permits (NDOT), 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 Elko?

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 Nevada?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Elko, the closest neighbor is Idaho: Twin Falls is about 140 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD). Utah is next, through the Utah Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Division (UDOT).
