Moving machinery in and out of Cleveland
Cleveland is a Lake Erie port city where I-71, I-77 and I-90 meet, with the Port of Cleveland handling Great Lakes bulk, steel and general cargo. Machines leave Cleveland on I-71, I-77, I-90, I-480 and I-490, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Cleveland, OH
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Cleveland?
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 Cleveland?
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 Cleveland, the closest neighbor is Michigan: Detroit is about 90 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Pennsylvania is next, through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT).
