Moving machinery in and out of Reno
Reno is on I-80 just east of the Sierra Nevada crossing, and the Reno-Sparks area is a warehousing and distribution hub for Northern California and the West. Machines leave Reno on I-80, I-580 and US-395, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a NDOT permit for the exact route.
Rules of the road
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.

Questions about shipping in Reno, NV
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Reno?
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 Reno?
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 Reno, the closest neighbor is California: Sacramento is about 110 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Oregon is next, through the Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division (ODOT).
