Moving machinery in and out of Yakima

Yakima, on I-82 in the Yakima Valley, is a center for apple, hop and tree fruit shipping, with freight routes west over Snoqualmie Pass via I-90 or White Pass via US-12. Machines leave Yakima on I-82, US-97, US-12 and SR-24, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a WSDOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Washington

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Washington can restrict permitted loads on major holidays, starting at noon the day before, and during commute hours on listed highway sections, and night movement must be approved on the permit unless the load fits within 12 ft wide, 14 ft 6 in high and 105 ft long. Source ↗

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

Questions about shipping in Yakima, WA

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Yakima?

In Washington they come from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Commercial Vehicle Services (WSDOT), 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 Yakima?

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 Washington?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Yakima, the closest neighbor is Oregon: Pendleton is about 100 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division (ODOT). Idaho is next, through the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD).
