Moving machinery in and out of Mobile
Mobile is home to the Port of Mobile, Alabama's deepwater seaport on the Gulf of Mexico, with container, bulk and breakbulk terminals tied to the interior by I-10, I-65 and Class I rail lines. Machines leave Mobile on I-10, I-65, I-165, US-90 and US-98, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ALDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Mobile, AL
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Mobile?
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 Mobile?
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 Mobile, the closest neighbor is Mississippi: Pascagoula is about 40 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Permit & Motor Carrier Division (MDOT). Florida is next, through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
