Moving machinery in and out of Buffalo
Buffalo, on Lake Erie at the Canadian border, is western New York's freight hub, where I-90 and I-190 connect with the Peace Bridge and other crossings into Ontario. Machines leave Buffalo on I-90, I-190, I-290 and I-990, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a NYSDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Buffalo, NY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Buffalo?
In New York they come from the New York State Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (NYSDOT), 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 Buffalo?
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 York?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Buffalo, the closest neighbor is Pennsylvania: Erie is about 80 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT). New Jersey is next, through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT).
