Moving machinery in and out of Dayton

Dayton is where I-70 and I-75 cross in southwestern Ohio, next to a major Air Force base and an aerospace and defense research cluster. Machines leave Dayton on I-70, I-75 and I-675, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Dayton, OH

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Dayton?

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 Dayton?

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 Dayton, the closest neighbor is Kentucky: Covington is about 50 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).
