Moving machinery in and out of San Antonio

Questions about shipping in San Antonio, TX

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 San Antonio?
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 San Antonio, the closest neighbor is Louisiana: Lake Charles is about 320 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Truck Permit Office (DOTD). Oklahoma is next, through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Size and Weight Permits (ODOT).
