Moving machinery in and out of Toledo
Toledo is a Great Lakes port city where I-75 meets the Ohio Turnpike (I-80 and I-90), and the Port of Toledo handles bulk and general cargo on Lake Erie. Machines leave Toledo on I-75, I-80, I-90, I-475 and I-280, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Toledo, OH
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Toledo?
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 Toledo?
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 Toledo, the closest neighbor is Michigan: Detroit is about 55 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). Indiana is next, through the Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services (Indiana DOR).
