Moving machinery in and out of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh sits where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers form the Ohio River, with I-79, I-376 and I-76 serving a river-port, steel and natural gas region. Machines leave Pittsburgh on I-76, I-79, I-376 and I-279, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a PennDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Pittsburgh, PA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Pittsburgh?
In Pennsylvania they come from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT), 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 Pittsburgh?
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 Pennsylvania?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Pittsburgh, the closest neighbor is West Virginia: Wheeling is about 45 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the West Virginia Division of Highways, Hauling Permits (Department of Transportation) (WVDOH). Ohio is next, through the Ohio Department of Transportation, Special Hauling Permits (ODOT).
