Moving machinery in and out of Providence
Providence, the state capital and largest city, is where I-95 and I-195 meet at the head of Narragansett Bay, with ProvPort, a deepwater commercial port, on the Providence River. Machines leave Providence on I-95, I-195 and I-295, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a RIDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Providence, RI
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Providence?
In Rhode Island they come from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), 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 Providence?
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 Rhode Island?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Providence, the closest neighbor is Massachusetts: Fall River is about 15 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Highway Division (MassDOT). Connecticut is next, through the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT).
