Can you pick up at a jobsite in Kalispell?

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 Kalispell, the closest neighbor is Idaho: Coeur d'Alene is about 120 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD). North Dakota is next, through the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Motor Carrier Division (NDHP).
