Moving machinery in and out of Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city and a river port where I-5 and I-84 meet, with the Port of Portland handling vehicles, grain and other cargo on the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Machines leave Portland on I-5, I-84, I-205 and I-405, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a ODOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Portland, OR
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Portland?
In Oregon they come from the Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division (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 Portland?
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 Oregon?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Portland, the closest neighbor is Washington: Vancouver is about 10 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Commercial Vehicle Services (WSDOT). Idaho is next, through the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD).
