Overweight & Oversize Permits – Temporary
Typically, an operator hauling an OS/OW load through several states must first obtain permits for each state along the route. Obtaining OS/OW permits may be a matter of hours or take up to 10 days, depending on the state, the load, and the route. Coordinating a trip through several states requires planning and understanding the applications processes and schedules for each state. For operators who haul OS/OW loads infrequently, obtaining individual trip permits—although time consuming—is the logical process.
In United States, in most cases a load is considered an oversize or overweight load and requires oversize/over permit when:
- The load’s height exceeds 13’6″
- The load’s width exceeds 8’6″
- The load’s length exceeds 48′
- The load’s weight exceeds 80,000 pounds
In Canada, in most cases a load is considered an oversize or overweight load and requires oversize/over permit when:
- The load’s height exceeds 13’6″
- The load’s width exceeds 8’6″
- The load’s length exceeds 75′
- The load’s weight exceeds 40,000 kg
