Vehicles over legal dimensions and/or weight need a permit before entering the state or moving within the state. Learn how to get a permit to move oversized and overweight loads on state highway systems.
Determine If You Need a Permit
You need a permit if you exceed legal dimensions or weight. Permits are only issued to transport loads that cannot be divided. If the load or any part of the load can be reasonably reduced, it must be reduced, and you will not be granted a permit. Legal dimensions are:
- 8’6” wide, 14’ tall, 53’ length (tractor/trailer)
- 40’ single unit
- 75’ overall with a truck and trailer
- 3’ of front overhang and 15’ of rear overhang.
If you have a heavy load, use the legal weight chart to determine if you need a permit for weight. A set of three overlapping criteria determines the Gross vehicle weight (GVW) for a vehicle or vehicle combination: tire size, axle weight, and the weight table. Calculate your overweight permit fees with our calculator.
Visit the Department of Licensing website for vehicle licensing information including dealer license plates, farm plates, trip permits, border zones, and transporter plates.

Fixed loads with 3 axles may be permitted up to 65,000 pounds and fixed loads with 4 axles may be permitted up to 86,000 pounds with appropriate wheelbases and tire sizes. An axle spacing report is required to issue a fixed load permit.
The legal capacity is what the unit is licensed for on the registration. Axle spacing report from Commercial Vehicle Services is required. Dimensions may be added to the permit without additional fees being charged.
