Moving machinery in and out of Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa sits on I-20 and I-59 along the Black Warrior River in west Alabama, with an automotive assembly plant and a steel and metals industry that ship out by truck and rail. Machines leave Tuscaloosa on I-20, I-59, I-359, US-82 and US-43, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ALDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Tuscaloosa, AL
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Tuscaloosa?
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 Tuscaloosa?
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 Tuscaloosa, the closest neighbor is Mississippi: Meridian is about 90 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, Permit & Motor Carrier Division (MDOT). Georgia is next, through the Georgia Department of Public Safety, Oversize Permit Unit (Georgia DPS).
