Moving machinery in and out of Paducah
Paducah, in far western Kentucky at I-24 and I-69, sits where the Tennessee River meets the Ohio River and has long been a center of barge traffic and river shipping services. Machines leave Paducah on I-24, I-69, US-60 and US-45, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a KYTC permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Paducah, KY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Paducah?
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 Paducah?
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 Paducah, the closest neighbor is Tennessee: Clarksville is about 80 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Oversize and Overweight Permit Office (TDOT). Indiana is next, through the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR).
