The vehicles and loads that can not be minimized in their size and can not be transported other than by road are mandated to obtain permits from the reigon’s local Department of Transportation (DOT). All transportation permits will need to be obtained from State Transport Authorities by any individual or organization associateded with commercial trucking services if they transport loads more than just normal legal limits.

Vehicles and trucks that are hauling loads of excessive size or weight over legal limits and are busy in operating transportation activities on public highways are required to obtain oversize permits when their loads that can not be decreased in size. These permits can be obtained upon written application from the Commercial Transport section of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch. Oversize permits are obtainable not only for the vehicles or loads that are 4.4 meters wide, but for wider vehicles also. The information of the commodity being transported alongside reasons of non-reducible size need to be provided with the application of this permit.

Oversize permits are also assigned on the basis of axle size of the truck, as there are certain constraints on the load-per-axle to assess the need of the transportation permit. A load that goes above the limit per-axle is considered as being over-weighted or oversized, instead of considering the overall weight of the load. Suppose your commercial vehicle transports construction machinery, pre-built homes, construction materials, or containers. It’s weight caps are then relied on weight limits per-axle to be eligible for this permit.

A Wide load permit is required to be obtained by pilot cars not exceeding 5,500 kg in gross vehicle weight, and are allowed for single commercial transportation when the length of load being transported exceeds 27.5 meter and width exceeds 3.2 meters. The pilot car has to mount on its roof top a sign of Long Load, Wide Load or Oversize Load to warn other passing by vehicles. Oversize vehicles with loads of 3.2 meters width or below 3.5 meters width are exempted for this form of transportation permit if they operate during daytime, but for wider loads this permit is essential.
