Questions about shipping in Dalton, GA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Dalton?
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 Dalton?
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 Dalton, the closest neighbor is Tennessee: Chattanooga is about 25 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT). Alabama is next, through the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT).
