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
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.
What are the rules for hauling oversized/overweight loads
Each state has its own regulations. To learn more about them, please visit the section
State Regulations
How to get a trip permit
To obtain a trip permit, please contact our permit agent by phone in the "Contacts" section on the website. He/she will provide you with assistance and guidance on all inquiries, inform you about the required information for obtaining the permit, and more.
How much do oversize/overweight permits cost
The cost directly depends on the gross weight and dimensions of a load. Depending on the state, your dimensions and gross weight, the permit price can range from $9 to $1000 and over.
How long does it take to obtain a permit?
Each case is individual. It depends on the state regulations, workload of a specific Department of Transportation/Department of Motor vehicles/Department of Public Safety (DOT, DMV, DPS), and your dimensions. For some states, it is possible to obtain a permit within 15 minutes. However, there are states where the review process may take over 24 hours.
Can I drive at night?
Each state has its own regulations. There are states that allow night driving, and there are states that do not permit it. Our permit agent will provide guidance on this matter based on A planned route.
