Oversize Permits

If you have an oversized load to move, oversize permits are required. These permits are provided to allow a freight carrier to transport vehicles and loads that exceed basic weight, height and length standards. The federal government doesn't issue oversize or overweight permits. Instead, each state handles the issuing of trucking permits for oversized loads.

State Standards for Oversize Permits

Each state may set its own standards for determining whether or not oversize permits are required. Often a load that exceeds a height of 13 feet, 6 inches, a width of 8 feet, 6 inches and a length of 80 feet is considered an oversized load. In such cases, you may not only need oversize permits, but also escort vehicles. Overweight permits may be required for loads that weigh over 80,000 pounds.
