Questions about shipping in Owensboro, KY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Owensboro?
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 Owensboro?
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 Owensboro, the closest neighbor is Indiana: Evansville is about 30 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR). Tennessee is next, through the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT).
