When Does a Load Require Permits in Alabama?
Every state, including Alabama, has rules and regulations regarding shipping oversized and overweight loads. In Alabama, a load is considered oversized when it exceeds 57 feet in length, 8’6ft in width, 13’6ft in height, 4ft rear and 5ft front overhang, and 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight and must be accompanied by the necessary permits. Acquiring permits for oversized or overweight loads in Alabama can be a complex task. That's why we're here to take the burden off your shoulders and make the process easier and faster. Call us today to get started!
When you contact us through the form, email, or call, ensure you know the exact dimensions and weight of your load because these details are mandatory when getting permits for any load. Whether transporting oversized/overweight construction equipment, farm equipment, heavy machinery, and more, you’re at the right place for permits. Call us today to get started!
What’s the Cost of Acquiring Oversized/Overweight Permits in Alabama?
The size of a load is determined by adding the size of a trailer to that of the load. For example, if the height of a trailer is 6ft and your equipment is 15ft, then the size of your load would be 21ft tall. The cost of acquiring permits is determined by how much your load exceeds the legal limit. The more the load exceeds the legal dimensions, the more you will pay. That’s because some loads require structures such as power cables to be removed for smooth transport, roads blocked, and you have to make all these adjustments and possible damages.
If you’re transporting an oversized/overweight load within Alabama, you will only need permits there. However, if your load passes through different states, our team will help you acquire permits from the different DOTs to drive through without being fined. As previously mentioned, all states have different rules, and a load might be oversized in one state but not another. Therefore, working with a professional like us is important so that you meet the requirements in all the states your load passes through. Please note that you can’t use one permit to cross through different states. Permits for each state must be acquired from the relevant DOT. Contact us now!
