Questions about shipping in Moorhead, MN
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Moorhead?
In Minnesota they come from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), 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 Moorhead?
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 Minnesota?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Moorhead, the closest neighbor is North Dakota: Fargo is about 5 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Motor Carrier Division (NDHP). South Dakota is next, through the South Dakota Highway Patrol, Motor Carrier Services (SDHP).
