Questions about shipping in Pocatello, ID

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Pocatello?

In Idaho they come from the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD), 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 Pocatello?

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 Idaho?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Pocatello, the closest neighbor is Utah: Logan is about 85 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Utah Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Division (UDOT). Wyoming is next, through the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Commercial Carrier and Ports of Entry (Wyoming Department of Transportation) (WHP).
