Questions about shipping in Rochester, NY
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Rochester?
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 Rochester?
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 Rochester, the closest neighbor is Pennsylvania: Erie is about 140 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT). Vermont is next, through the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, Commercial Vehicle Operations (Vermont DMV).
