Moving machinery in and out of Dallas

Dallas anchors the inland freight network of the Dallas-Fort Worth region, where I-35E, I-30, I-20 and I-45 connect with intermodal rail terminals and large distribution centers. Machines leave Dallas on I-35E, I-30, I-20, I-45 and I-635, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a TxDMV permit for the exact route.

    Texas generally allows permitted oversize loads to move only during the daytime, with night moves for overweight-only loads and for loads up to 10 ft wide and 100 ft long on interstates, and loads over 14 ft wide, 16 ft high or 110 ft long may not move on listed holidays. Source ↗

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

Questions about shipping in Dallas, TX

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Dallas?

In Texas they come from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Carrier Division (TxDMV), 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 Dallas?

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 Texas?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Dallas, the closest neighbor is Oklahoma: Ardmore is about 100 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Size and Weight Permits (ODOT). Arkansas is next, through the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).
