Can you pick up at a jobsite in Johnson City?
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 Tennessee?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Johnson City, the closest neighbor is North Carolina: Asheville is about 50 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Oversize/Overweight Permit Unit (NCDOT).
