South Carolina's shipping regulations can be complex, and non-compliance risks fines, delays, or even project setbacks. With our knowledgeable team, we efficiently manage everything from single-load shipments to multi-load convoys, working with local, city, and state agencies to ensure all regulatory needs are met. South Carolina industries frequently rely on our oversize and overweight permit services to move large machinery, construction equipment, and agricultural vehicles across cities and towns. Major urban centers like Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville often have specific rules for oversized loads, including route restrictions due to historic areas, tight turns, and low-clearance bridges. We also provide additional support with specialized trailers for transport, cranes for loading and unloading assistance, and pilot car escort services. Contact us today with details of your load.

Determining if a Load Exceeds South Carolina's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure the Dimensions and Weight Of Your Load?
Accurate measurements are essential for securing the correct permits in South Carolina. Improper measurements for over-dimensional loads can pose risks on the road, making precision critical. Ensure the vehicle is parked straight on level ground for accurate measurements.
- Length: Measure from the front of the vehicle to the farthest point of the load, including any overhang.
- Width: Measure the load's widest points to ensure compliance.
- Height: Measure from the ground to the highest point, accounting for trailer and cargo height to transparent bridges and tunnels.
- Weight: Measure in three categories—gross weight, axle weight, and load weight. Use a certified truck scale for accuracy, as it prevents axle weight distribution issues that could delay transportation.
