Moving machinery in and out of Greensboro

Greensboro anchors the Piedmont Triad, where I-40 and I-85 cross and Piedmont Triad International Airport operates a large express-cargo hub. Machines leave Greensboro on I-40, I-85, I-73 and I-840, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a NCDOT permit for the exact route.

What shapes a move in North Carolina

  • When oversize loads can travel

    North Carolina oversize permits generally allow movement from sunrise to sunset Monday through Saturday, with no Sunday travel unless the permit says otherwise, and loads wider than 12 feet cannot move within 10 miles of Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Source ↗

Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Greensboro, NC

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Greensboro?

In North Carolina they come from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Unit (NCDOT), 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 Greensboro?

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 North Carolina?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Greensboro, the closest neighbor is Virginia: Roanoke is about 85 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Hauling Permit Section (Virginia DMV). South Carolina is next, through the South Carolina Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Office (SCDOT).
