Questions about shipping in Decatur, AL
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Decatur?
In Alabama they come from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), 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 Decatur?
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 Alabama?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Decatur, the closest neighbor is Tennessee: Murfreesboro is about 90 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT). Mississippi is next, through the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Permit & Motor Carrier Division (MDOT).
