Moving machinery in and out of Hagerstown

Hagerstown, in western Maryland, sits at the crossing of I-81 and I-70 near the Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia lines, a long-standing warehouse and trucking corridor. Machines leave Hagerstown on I-81, I-70, US-40 and US-11, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a MDOT SHA permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Hagerstown, MD

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Hagerstown?

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 Hagerstown?

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 Hagerstown, the closest neighbor is West Virginia: Martinsburg is about 20 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).
