Questions about shipping in Dover, DE
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Dover?
In Delaware they come from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), 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 Dover?
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 Delaware?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Dover, the closest neighbor is Maryland: Annapolis is about 55 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, Hauling Permits (MDOT SHA). New Jersey is next, through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
