Moving machinery in and out of La Crosse

La Crosse sits on I-90 and the Mississippi River at the Minnesota line, a river and highway crossing between Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Machines leave La Crosse on I-90, US-53, US-14 and US-61, and a load taller than 13 ft 6 in needs a WisDOT permit for the exact route.

Rules of the road

What shapes a move in Wisconsin

  • When oversize loads can travel

    Wisconsin lets overweight-only loads run 24 hours a day, including weekends and restricted-travel holidays, unless a permit says otherwise, while oversize moves are limited by hours and days of operation and are typically restricted on peak holiday travel days and peak deer-season times.

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

Questions about shipping in La Crosse, WI

Who handles permits for a machine leaving La Crosse?

In Wisconsin they come from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Services (WisDOT), 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 La Crosse?

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 Wisconsin?

Each state on the route issues its own permit. From La Crosse, the closest neighbor is Minnesota: Rochester is about 65 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Iowa is next, through the Iowa Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (Iowa DOT).
