Moving machinery in and out of Omaha
Omaha is a rail and trucking center on the Missouri River where I-80, I-480 and I-680 meet, with I-29 just across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Machines leave Omaha on I-80, I-480, I-680 and US-75, and a load taller than 14 ft 6 in needs a NDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Omaha, NE
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Omaha?
In Nebraska they come from the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Permits Office (NDOT), 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 Omaha?
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 Nebraska?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Omaha, the closest neighbor is Iowa: Council Bluffs is about 5 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Iowa Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (Iowa DOT). Missouri is next, through the Missouri Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services (MoDOT).
