Moving machinery in and out of Louisville
Louisville, on the Ohio River at the junction of I-64, I-65 and I-71, has a major overnight air cargo hub at its international airport, a river port, and large rail and distribution facilities. Machines leave Louisville on I-64, I-65, I-71, I-264 and I-265, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a KYTC permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Louisville, KY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Louisville?
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 Louisville?
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 Louisville, the closest neighbor is Indiana: Jeffersonville is about 5 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR). Ohio is next, through the Ohio Department of Transportation, Special Hauling Permits (ODOT).
