Moving machinery in and out of Stamford

Stamford sits on I-95 in Fairfield County close to the New York line, and commercial vehicles are barred from the nearby Merritt Parkway, so trucks stay on I-95. Machines leave Stamford on I-95 and US-1, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a CTDOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Connecticut

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Connecticut does not issue permits for oversize or overweight moves on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, and movement is limited to daylight from half an hour after sunrise to half an hour before sunset unless the Commissioner of Transportation approves other hours in advance. Source ↗

Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Stamford, CT

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Stamford?

In Connecticut they come from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), 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 Stamford?

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 Connecticut?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Stamford, the closest neighbor is New York: New York City is about 35 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the New York State Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (NYSDOT). Massachusetts is next, through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Highway Division (MassDOT).
