Moving machinery in and out of Bend

Bend is the largest city in Central Oregon, where US-97 and US-20 meet east of the Cascades. Machines leave Bend on US-97 and US-20, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Oregon

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Oregon limits non-divisible oversize loads to daylight hours, with night travel allowed only up to 12 feet wide on interstates and 10 feet wide on designated routes, and bars loads over 8 feet 6 inches wide during six holiday periods each year. Source ↗

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

Questions about shipping in Bend, OR

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Bend?

In Oregon they come from the Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division (ODOT), 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 Bend?

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 Oregon?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Bend, the closest neighbor is Washington: Vancouver is about 130 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Commercial Vehicle Services (WSDOT). Idaho is next, through the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD).
