Moving machinery in and out of Covington
Covington, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, anchors Northern Kentucky, where I-71/I-75 and I-275 serve a large distribution cluster near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, a major air cargo hub. Machines leave Covington on I-71, I-75, I-275 and I-471, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a KYTC permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Covington, KY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Covington?
In Kentucky they come from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Carriers (KYTC), 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 Covington?
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 Kentucky?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Covington, the closest neighbor is Ohio: Cincinnati is about 5 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Ohio Department of Transportation, Special Hauling Permits (ODOT). Indiana is next, through the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR).
