Nationwide Transport Services is your reliable partner for obtaining shipping permits in North Carolina. North Carolina's geography encompasses a diverse range of landscapes, from the bustling port cities on the Atlantic coast to the rugged Appalachian Mountains, with industries that span agriculture, biotechnology, aerospace, and manufacturing. These industries rely on the safe transportation of large equipment, heavy machinery, and industrial materials, often necessitating the proper planning of routes and adherence to specific shipping regulations. North Carolina's extensive road network includes major highways such as I-40, I-85, and I-95, each presenting unique challenges. Specific routes, especially those passing through cities or near coastal ports, may require additional permits and authorizations due to local road constraints, bridge clearance limitations, or seasonal road closures. Our experienced team ensures that all state, county, and city-specific permits are in place, along with any necessary route adjustments and clearances for narrow areas. We also offer hauling, loading, and unloading assistance and pilot car services. Contact us for North Carolina oversize or overweight shipping permits.

Determining if a Load Exceeds North Carolina's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure the Dimensions and Weight of a Load?
Accurate load measurements are crucial for obtaining the correct permits and ensuring safe passage across North Carolina's diverse routes. To check if a load exceeds the state's legal limits:
- Length: measure the length from the vehicle's front to the end of the load, including any overhangs, to account for full clearance.
- Width: Measure the widest part of the load, considering any extensions beyond the trailer's sides.
- Height: should be measured from the ground to the highest point of the secured load, including the trailer's and cargo's combined height, to avoid issues with bridges or overpasses.
- Weight: Use a certified truck scale to weigh the entire vehicle and load, confirming that the load is evenly distributed across axles for optimal safety and compliance with state guidelines.
