Moving machinery in and out of Peoria
Peoria, on the Illinois River in central Illinois, is a river barge and grain shipping point at the crossing of I-74 and I-474, with a heavy-equipment manufacturing base. Machines leave Peoria on I-74, I-474 and I-155, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a IDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Peoria, IL
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Peoria?
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 Peoria?
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 Peoria, the closest neighbor is Iowa: Davenport is about 75 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Iowa Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (Iowa DOT). Indiana is next, through the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR).
