Highland Equipment Transport From The Valley To Foothill Sites
Highland equipment moves can shift quickly from wide Inland Empire corridors to tighter foothill streets and project entrances. We plan the machine, trailer, route, and unloading method together so the receiving crew is not left solving access issues after the truck arrives.
SR-210 is the main regional freeway, with SR-330 providing mountain access and Base Line Street supporting local east-west travel. Grades, wildfire-related restrictions, construction, and dense traffic around San Bernardino can affect the final approach.
Call (888) 730-2951 to coordinate Highland equipment transport around the site and schedule.
