Questions about shipping in Salt Lake City, UT
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Salt Lake City?
In Utah they come from the Utah Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Division (UDOT), 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 Salt Lake 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 Utah?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Salt Lake City, the closest neighbor is Idaho: Pocatello is about 150 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD). Wyoming is next, through the Wyoming Highway Patrol, Commercial Carrier and Ports of Entry (Wyoming Department of Transportation) (WHP).
