Before the move
How we plan a Arkansas load
Every Arkansas move starts with an ARDOT permit. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the Arkansas rules, then sets the escorts and travel windows the permit calls for.
Over 15'H our lead escort runs a clearance bar, and over 17'H we get the utility and signal agreements before the move.
Super loads go in early, because ARDOT may need engineering reviews.
