Florida Oversize and Overweight Permits
YOU CAN RELY ON US FOR OVERSIZE OR OVERWEIGHT PERMITS IN FLORIDA
Are you looking to transport an oversize or overweight load within or through Florida? At Nationwide Transport Services, we specialize in assisting clients in obtaining oversize and overweight permits for shipments in Florida to avoid fines and penalties. When moving over-dimensional loads on public roads, permits are required to ensure the safety of other motorists and avoid traffic disruptions. The state has major cities like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Shipments may also require permits from local authorities, depending on the specific route. If your shipment crosses state lines, permits must be obtained for each state, as they are not transferable across borders. Contact us for Florida oversize or overweight permits.

Our years of expertise allow us to navigate Florida's regulations efficiently, ensuring that your load complies with all the legal requirements. When a load exceeds any of these dimensions or weight, it must be accompanied by the relevant permits to travel through public roads.

How to Determine if a Load Exceeds Legal Dimensions in Florida
How Do You Measure a Load To Know Its Size and Weight?
Accurate measurements of a load's dimensions are essential when obtaining permits, as they are used to calculate permit fees and determine whether escort vehicles or pilot cars are needed. Proper measurement is also crucial for ensuring safe transport. Always ensure the vehicle is aligned on level ground when measuring your load. For weight measurements, the load should be evenly distributed. The following is how each dimension should be measured;
- Length: The overall length is the combined length of the truck, trailer, and any overhangs from the load.
- Width: The width is measured across the vehicle at its widest points, typically from one side to the other.
- Height: This is the total height from the ground to the top of the load and should be measured while the load is on the trailer.
- Weight: The weight should be measured using certified scales. Three categories should be measured: the gross weight, per axle weight, and load weight.
