Frequent questions
What is considered an oversize/overweight load
Facilis placeaAn oversize permit is required in all cases when the load being transported exceeds the allowable limits (depending on the laws of a specific state, an oversize/overweight permit must be obtained). Oversize permit service is very popular as carriers often need to transport large loads through the territories of several states.
More specifically, such permits as overweight permits, OSOW permits, or overweight truck permits are usually required to transport cargo that weighs over 80,000 lbs and has dimensions over 75' long, 8'6 wide, 13'6 tall
When do you need a oversize/overweight permit
Our oversize permit service is specialized in most of the load types. In other words, you can obtain oversize, overweight, trip and fuel permits with our assistance. Typically, these permits are required if a load has dimensions exceeding 75’ long, 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, and the gross weight over 80,000 pounds.
What width, length, height, weight is considered an oversize
An oversize/overweight load permit is mandatory to obtain if a transported cargo exceeds 75’ long, 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, and has a gross weight over 80,000 pounds.
If the gross weight does not exceed 80,000 lbs, but an axle or a group of axles exceeds the permissible weight, do I need permits?
Yes, you need to obtain permits if the steering axle group exceeds 12,000 pounds, the tandem axle group exceeds 34,000 pounds, or the tridem axle group exceeds 40,000 pounds (limits may vary depending on a state).
Are there any loads that do not require permits?
Yes, there are, but they are limited by size restrictions and not applicable in all states. It is best to discuss a planned route with our permit agent to check the necessity of permits.
What is a pilot car, and in what cases is it needed?
Each state has its own regulations. If your dimensions exceed the maximum allowable limits (gross weight over 80,000 pounds and dimensions exceeding 75 long, 8 feet 6 wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall), it is advisable to clarify the necessity of ordering a pilot car service with our permit agent.
However, it is important to remember that regulations can vary in each state. Therefore, we always arrange oversize pilot services based on the specific route to ensure 100% compliant transportation.
