FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most common questions we get asked. 

Who needs an oversize load permit?

If a commercial vehicle is oversize or overweight, a temporary oversize load permit (also known as a truck permit) is needed for it to legally travel.

In most cases a load is considered an oversize load and requires a state or county oversize load permit when:

The load’s height exceeds 13’6″ or 14’0” depending on the state or province
The load’s width exceeds 8’6″
The load’s length exceeds 48′ in some states, but this varies by state and province
The load’s weight exceeds 80,000 pounds in some states, but this varies by state and province

What is the difference between an oversize load and a superload?

When the size – weight, height, length or width – of a load exceeds the standard oversize load permit limits for a specific state, and is not divisible (cannot be broken down), it is considered a superload. Note that superload dimensions vary by state.

WCS Permits understands what is considered overweight vs. legal weight, and what dimensions exceed each state’s standard requirements making an oversize load permit necessary for travel.
