Texas Oversize and Overweight Permits
Trust Us To Help You Obtain Texas Oversize Shipping Permits
At Nationwide Transport Services, we specialize in obtaining oversize shipping permits tailored to meet Texas shipping regulations, ensuring you're compliant and ready to move without unnecessary delays. In Texas, navigating oversize and overweight transport requires more than experience; it demands an in-depth understanding of the state's unique requirements. With its booming oil, agriculture, and construction industries, Texas sees regular heavy hauls of drilling rigs, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery crisscrossing its expansive highways. We've distinguished ourselves by our reliability and efficiency for over a decade. Texas's largest cities, including Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, restrict oversized loads more due to tight urban environments, low-clearance bridges, and traffic congestion. From trailers and cranes to specialized trucks and pilot cars, our team provides everything you need for a seamless and efficient transportation of oversize and overweight loads.

Determining if a Load Exceeds Texas's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure the Size of a Load Before Transport
Precise measurements ensure a smooth journey when determining if your load requires a permit. Accurate measuring tools are essential since any error can lead to potential fines, delays, or even hazards.
- Length: Measure from the front of the vehicle to the farthest point of the load, accounting for overhangs if applicable.
- Width: Measure the load's widest points.
- Height: Measure from the ground to the highest secured part of the load, factoring in trailer and cargo heights.
- Lastly, ensure accuracy in weight measurements, covering gross, axle, and load weights. Using a certified truck scale helps confirm compliance with axle weight distribution requirements and Texas-specific guidelines.
