Oversize load

An oversize load exceeds standard legal limits for width, height, length or weight and requires state permits, and often escorts, to travel legally.

Last reviewed · by the fleetchart dispatch desk

Each state issues its own permits with its own fees, routing restrictions and travel-time limitations, so a multi-state move requires a permit package rather than a single document.

Rates are substantially higher and so are the costs: permits, pilot cars, restricted routing and daylight-only travel all reduce the miles achievable in a day.
