Questions about shipping in Augusta, GA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Augusta?
In Georgia they come from the Georgia Department of Public Safety, Oversize Permit Unit (Georgia DPS), 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 Augusta?
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 Georgia?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Augusta, the closest neighbor is South Carolina: Columbia is about 65 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the South Carolina Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Office (SCDOT). North Carolina is next, through the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Unit (NCDOT).
