Questions about shipping in Elizabeth, NJ
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Elizabeth?
In New Jersey they come from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), 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 Elizabeth?
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 New Jersey?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Elizabeth, the closest neighbor is New York: New York City is about 10 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the New York State Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (NYSDOT). Pennsylvania is next, through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT).
