North Dakota Oversize and Overweight Permits
WE HELP YOU OBTAIN SHIPPING PERMITS ON TIME
At Nationwide Transport, we offer efficient and cost-effective permit-acquisition services for transporting oversized and overweight loads in North Dakota. Navigating these loads through the state's open plains, rugged Badlands, and agricultural heartlands comes with unique challenges. North Dakota is renowned for its thriving agriculture, oil, and energy sectors, which necessitate the transportation of large machinery, oil rigs, wind turbine components, agricultural equipment, and other loads across diverse landscapes. We have served many of these for over a decade, acquiring crucial experience. Our team is proficient in handling both long-haul and short-haul shipments, whether for single or multiple loads. We help manage all local, city, and state shipping regulations, as well as any necessary clearances for bridges, railroad crossings, and utility lines. Big cities like Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks may have specific regulations for urban transport, including limited clearance, special route requirements, and high-traffic restrictions. We offer a range of related services, including shipping, loading, and unloading assistance, and pilot car services.

Determining if a Load Exceeds North Dakota's Legal Limits
How To Measure Oversize and Overweight Loads
Accurate measurements are essential to secure the proper permits and guarantee safe passage through North Dakota.
- Length: measurements should be taken on level ground from the vehicle's front to the end of the load, accounting for any overhangs.
- Width: The measurement should cover the load's widest point, including any parts that extend beyond the trailer.
- Height: should be measured from the ground to the highest secured point of the load, factoring in both trailer and cargo heights to prevent issues with overhead clearances on bridges or tunnels.
- Weight: Weighing the entire load on a certified truck scale ensures compliance with weight restrictions and a balanced axle distribution, preventing potential transport delays.
