What is an Overweight Permits?
Overweight permits are special types of temporary permits that authorize the movement of vehicles with a gross weight that exceeds the legal weight limit. This oversize overweight permit may be issued after a weight analysis of the planned route. The weighted analysis may delay your permit by 24 to 48 hours.
Generally, all vehicles and trailers for which special permits are requested shall be licensed in accordance with the state’s licensing laws. For vehicles up to 125% of the legal weight limit that cover scheduled moves or specific routes, extended overweight permits may be requested. These extended permits can last up to a maximum of one year in one-month increments.

When Do I Need to Get My Overweight Permit?
A state will issue an overweight permit only when the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic tires of an adequate width. This is to provide an effective supply of weight on the surface of the roadway. The requirements for an overweight permit by state may differ.
State authorities will not request overweight permits during the seasonal highway weight restrictions period for the operations of vehicles on roads where restricted weight limits have been ordered by either the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities or their authorized representatives. However, this doesn’t include cases of extreme emergency. If the dimensions of your vehicle exceed the following limits, some postponement may result, depending upon the route and state, as the regulations for the overweight permit by state differ.
