Moving machinery in and out of Winchester

Winchester, in the northern Shenandoah Valley at I-81 and US-50, has a large cluster of distribution centers and is close to the Virginia Inland Port at Front Royal. Machines leave Winchester on I-81, US-50, US-11 and US-522, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a Virginia DMV permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Winchester, VA

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Winchester?

In Virginia they come from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Hauling Permit Section (Virginia DMV), 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 Winchester?

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 Virginia?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Winchester, the closest neighbor is West Virginia: Martinsburg is about 20 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the West Virginia Division of Highways, Hauling Permits (Department of Transportation) (WVDOH). Maryland is next, through the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, Hauling Permits (MDOT SHA).
