Transporting oversized or overweight loads in Maryland requires navigating a mix of state and local regulations to ensure safe passage through the state's urban centers and rural landscapes. Maryland's dense highway network, especially around Baltimore and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, presents unique challenges for over-dimensional hauls. At Nationwide Transport Services, we simplify the process by securing necessary permits, including additional requirements for pilot cars, flagged loads, and clearances from utility companies or rail authorities. Whether it's a single transport or an ongoing project, our team ensures your shipment is fully compliant with Maryland shipping regulations.

Determining if a Load Exceeds Maryland's Legal Limits
How To Measure Your Load To Get Accurate Dimensions and Weight
Accurate measurements facilitate a seamless permit approval process and help avoid complications during transport. To measure the length, start at the front of the vehicle and extend to the end of the load, including any overhang. For width, measure the widest part of the load, considering any extensions beyond the trailer's edge. Height should be measured from the ground to the highest point of the load when fully secured, taking into account the trailer and load heights. A certified truck scale is recommended when weighing to ensure that the weight distribution meets Maryland's regulations and doesn't exceed permissible limits. Measure the following weight categories: gross weight, per-axle weight, and load weight.
