Heavy Haul in Phoenix
Oversize and overweight loads into Phoenix and the Valley, permitted, routed and escorted by our own team around the metro curfew routes.
This page is general information only, not legal advice and not a permit. Rules change often and each state's permit and official rules are the final word. Always confirm limits, escorts, routes and travel times with the state permit office before moving a load. Reliable Transport LLC is not responsible for decisions made using this information.
Valley heavy haul
From Dayton to the desert
Reliable Transport LLC runs heavy haul and superload moves across the USA and Canada from Dayton, Ohio. For a Phoenix load, our in house team files the ADOT permit and the City of Phoenix permit for city streets, times the move around the metro curfew and books the escorts.
