Due to issues causing delays in the issuance of Oversize/Overweight permits, the North Carolina Dept. of Transportation is authorizing travel without an oversize load permit through Friday, July 1, 2022.

The travel authorization extension is for truck/tractor semi-trailer combinations with at least 51′ of wheel base hauling non-divisible loads with weight up to 132,000 lbs., and/or loads with a width of 12 feet or less. Mover is not to exceed legal height (13’6″).Â
Movers are not to cross posted bridges or travel on posted roads. Over width loads are to travel from sunrise to sunset only.
This authorization is your permit for movement if you meet the conditions above until noon Friday, July 1 2022.
Please use the time until Friday at Noon to apply for permits needed for the week of July 5 and beyond.
The state will be back to our normal processes effective July 5. Requestors can expect heavy delays on Tuesday, July 5th and Wednesday, July 6. Heavy delays are normal after holidays.
