Moving machinery in and out of Frederick
Frederick, where I-70, I-270 and US-15 come together, is the gateway to western Maryland and a growing distribution and biotechnology center. Machines leave Frederick on I-70, I-270, US-15 and US-340, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a MDOT SHA permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Frederick, MD
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Frederick?
In Maryland they come from the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, Hauling Permits (MDOT SHA), 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 Frederick?
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 Maryland?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Frederick, the closest neighbor is West Virginia: Martinsburg is about 30 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the West Virginia Division of Highways, Hauling Permits (Department of Transportation) (WVDOH). Virginia is next, through the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Hauling Permit Section (Virginia DMV).
