Moving machinery in and out of Cincinnati
Cincinnati sits on the Ohio River where I-71 and I-75 cross, and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport, a major air-cargo hub, is just across the river in Kentucky. Machines leave Cincinnati on I-71, I-75, I-74 and I-275, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Cincinnati, OH
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Cincinnati?
In Ohio they come from the Ohio Department of Transportation, Special Hauling Permits (ODOT), 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 Cincinnati?
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 Ohio?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Cincinnati, the closest neighbor is Kentucky: Covington is about 5 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Division of Motor Carriers (KYTC). Indiana is next, through the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR).
