Questions about shipping in Butte, MT
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Butte?
In Montana they come from the Montana Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services (MDT), 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 Butte?
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 Montana?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Butte, the closest neighbor is Idaho: Idaho Falls is about 180 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD). Wyoming is next, through the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Commercial Carrier and Ports of Entry (Wyoming Department of Transportation) (WHP).
