State-by-state route permits

Oversize / Overweight Permits

Permits pulled fast, before your load has to roll.

Who needs this

Is this you?

If a load exceeds the standard legal limits (too wide, too tall, too long, too heavy), you can't roll without a permit from every state the truck will run through. Heavy-haul, construction, and excavation work hits this constantly.

  • Construction outfits hauling oversized equipment between job sites
  • Excavation companies moving heavy loaders, dozers, or tracked equipment
  • Heavy-haul carriers running specialized freight
  • Anyone moving a manufactured home, a wind blade, a tank, or anything else that won't fit under the standard limits

What we file

The actual work, in plain language.

Permits are state-by-state, route-by-route, and load-by-load. We coordinate with every state your run will cross, get the right permit for the right configuration, and turn it around fast enough to keep your dispatch on schedule.

  • Single-trip permits for one-off heavy or oversize hauls
  • Annual permits for repeat configurations on the same routes
  • Route surveys when the state requires one for unusual dimensions
  • Escort coordination when the load requires pilot cars
  • Multi-state permits sequenced so the truck can roll on the planned day

When it's due

Pulled before the load rolls. Single-trip permits are valid for the duration of the planned haul (typically three to seven days, varies by state). Annual permits cover repeat runs across the calendar year.

What happens if you miss it

If a heavy or oversize load rolls without the right permits and a DOT officer pulls it over, you're looking at fines per axle, possible impoundment, and a record that follows your operating authority. Permit enforcement is one of the few things that's consistently strict at every weigh station.

Our process

Three handoffs. That's it.

  1. 01

    You send the route and the load.

    Origin, destination, the truck and trailer configuration, the load dimensions and weight. The more we know upfront, the faster we can route.

  2. 02

    We pull the permits.

    We file with every state the route crosses, get the permits issued, and verify the routing is legal end-to-end. If a state requires a route survey or escort, we coordinate that too.

  3. 03

    You get the paperwork.

    Permits, escort details, and any state-specific rules sent to you (and the driver) before the load rolls. The truck moves on the planned day.
