Ohio's economy is built on a diverse range of industries, from automotive and manufacturing in cities like Cleveland, Toledo, and Columbus to agriculture and energy production across the state's rural landscapes. Moving heavy equipment, machinery, and construction materials through Ohio's transportation network means navigating various routes, including the I-75 and I-70, as well as rural highways and city streets.

Determining if a Load Exceeds Ohio's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure Oversize and Overweight Loads
Accurate measurements are crucial for obtaining the proper permits and ensuring a safe, compliant journey throughout Ohio.
- Length: Measure the load length on level ground from the front of the vehicle to the load's end, including any overhangs.
- Width: Measure the load at its widest point, including any extensions beyond the trailer.
- Height: Once the load is secured, its height should be measured from the ground to the highest point, taking into account both the trailer and load heights to prevent issues with overhead clearances.
- Weight: Use a certified truck scale to weigh the entire vehicle and load, ensuring even axle distribution to maintain stability and safety during transit. These detailed measurements help prevent delays and guarantee compliance with Ohio's transportation standards.
