Moving machinery in and out of Wheeling

Wheeling sits in the northern panhandle where I-70 and I-470 cross into Ohio, a historic river and rail city and a crossing point toward Columbus and Pittsburgh. Machines leave Wheeling on I-70, I-470, US-40 and US-250, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a WVDOH permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in West Virginia

  • When oversize loads can travel

    West Virginia permits night travel only for overweight-only loads, up to 110,000 lb, on designated multi-lane highways, and weekend travel must be requested on the permit application and is granted after a review of route conditions and traffic. Source ↗

Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Questions about shipping in Wheeling, WV

Who handles permits for a machine leaving Wheeling?

In West Virginia they come from the West Virginia Division of Highways, Hauling Permits (Department of Transportation) (WVDOH), 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 Wheeling?

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 West Virginia?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Wheeling, the closest neighbor is Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh is about 45 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Central Permit Office (PennDOT). Ohio is next, through the Ohio Department of Transportation, Special Hauling Permits (ODOT).
