Questions about shipping in Aurora, IL
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Aurora?
In Illinois they come from the Illinois Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Office (IDOT), 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 Aurora?
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 Illinois?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Aurora, the closest neighbor is Indiana: Gary is about 50 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR). Wisconsin is next, through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services (WisDOT).
