Moving machinery in and out of Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the junction of I-95 and I-10 and home to JAXPORT, one of the busiest U.S. ports for vehicles and roll-on/roll-off cargo, with the I-295 beltway and rail connections serving its terminals. Machines leave Jacksonville on I-95, I-10, I-295, US-1 and US-17, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a FDOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Florida

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Florida limits over-dimension moves to daytime hours, excludes holidays for loads wider than 10 feet, and prohibits travel when horizontal visibility is under 1,000 feet. Source ↗

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

Questions about shipping in Jacksonville, FL

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Jacksonville?

In Florida they come from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), 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 Jacksonville?

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 Florida?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Jacksonville, the closest neighbor is Georgia: Brunswick is about 55 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Georgia Department of Public Safety, Oversize Permit Unit (Georgia DPS). Alabama is next, through the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).
