When Does a Load Require Permits in Mississippi?
Mississippi Oversize and Overweight Load Limits
Understanding Mississippi's legal load limits is crucial for safe and compliant transit through the state. Mississippi's standard regulations include:
- Length: 53 feet
- Width: 8 feet 6 inches
- Height: 13 feet 6 inches
- Weight: 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight (GVW)
Any non-divisible load exceeding the above dimensions and weight must be accompanied by shipping permits to travel through public roads legally. Depending on the size and weight, escort vehicles are required to coordinate the haul and ensure the safety of other motorists. Reach out to us with the specifications of your load.

Determining if a Load Exceeds Mississippi's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure the Size and Weight of a Load?
Accurate measurements are crucial for determining if your load exceeds Mississippi's legal limits, ensuring smooth permit approval and compliance with state standards.
- To measure length, position the vehicle on level ground and measure from the front of the truck to the end of the load, including any overhangs.
- For width, measure at the widest point of the load, taking into account any extensions beyond the trailer.
- To determine the height, measure from the ground to the highest point of the load once it is secured, considering the combined height of the trailer and load.
- For weight, a certified truck scale should be used to weigh the entire vehicle and load, confirming even weight distribution across all axles. Measure the following weight categories: gross, load, and per-axle weight.
