Questions about shipping in Aberdeen, SD
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Aberdeen?
In South Dakota they come from the South Dakota Highway Patrol, Motor Carrier Services (SDHP), 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 Aberdeen?
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 South Dakota?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Aberdeen, the closest neighbor is North Dakota: Jamestown is about 100 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the North Dakota Highway Patrol, Motor Carrier Division (NDHP). Minnesota is next, through the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
