Shipping To and From Los Angeles
Los Angeles, with its large population and bustling commercial center, involves thousands of deliveries in and out of the city every day. Los Angeles is also home to the busiest port in the United States and has maintained that label for over 20 years. We work with the port to organize drayage shipments to their next destination, whether it is the final leg of the delivery or to a nearby warehouse. Our logistics consultants are able to organize warehousing if needed.
Special Considerations for Oversized Loads
Shipping an oversized load comes with additional challenges and regulations that must be followed. These regulations change on a state-by-state basis on what is required to ship an oversized load. These regulations can impact when oversized loads are able to be on the road. In California, wide loads are only allowed to travel Monday through Friday with further restrictions on travel times in major cities during rush hours. In addition to travel time restrictions, wide loads are also required to have a pilot car and in some cases two pilot cars to display the oversized load. Each state and local government has slightly different regulations which is why choosing a logistics consultant experienced in route planning is crucial to getting your cargo delivered on time.
An oversized load in California is any load exceeding 14’ high, 8’6” wide, 40’ long on a single bed, 65’ for a semi, 75’ for a multi-trailer or over 20,000 lbs per axle.
