Hey everyone-
I don't drive but have been in auto transport as well as working for a shipping company now for about five years, and I love it.
I am looking for some insight. I am looking into getting overweight (but under 90K) sea/ocean container loads going to Washington D.C. I have been reviewing their Tops DOT website as well as spoke to JJ Keller but want to hear it from someone w/ experience. Can you get them?
Also on a lot of websites for different states it says one can get O/W loads for non divisible loads, sealed sea container are non divisible, correct or no?
Is there a good website to review all of this?
Thanks all!
Mike

Mike your question is rather impossible to answer.... you have no starting point only a destination. Also you would need an overweight permit. An overweight permit for Maryland is $500 per truck annually. It covers only from or to the port and has a max limit of 90k. On a side note if you love what your doing now don't change it...

My employer provides me for many states.
Much cheaper than tickets and no I don't pull containers. -
We used to have a standing permit to pull 90K gvw from the Virginia ports to a destination in VA. What happens in DC is anyones guess. Who wants to pull 70,000 lb containers anyway?

Hello-
It would be a reefer around 89,000 lbs from CSX Baltimore to DC (northeast) but not sure of destination..yet.
Thanks all -
Depends on what s inside the container as to weather it s a divisible load or not , if its pallets of stuff it could be easily divisible. If its say a machine or ect its possibly divisible but would require more than usually 8 hours work , so it may be permitted , its really up to the state, if coming by sea you may want to check other states regs and use a different port ?
