Cross Country Oversize Load Transport Regulations

Every state across the country has varying rules regarding what’s considered an oversize load. However, the standard maximum legal width limit is 8’6ft across all states, while the standard maximum legal length limit ranges between 13’6ft to 14’6ft, depending on the state. All loads exceeding the above dimensions, depending on the state, must be accompanied by shipping permits since they’re considered oversize. 

The maximum legal length limit isn’t specific and varies from state to state. However, we’re familiar with what’s considered an overlength load depending on the state it’s traveling from, to, and through. We ensure it’s accompanied by the correct paperwork to avoid fines.
