When Does a Load Require Permits in South Dakota?
South Dakota Oversize and Overweight Load Limits
South Dakota enforces the following limits for legal load dimensions:
- Length: Up to 53 feet on designated routes
- Width: 8 feet 6 inches
- Height: 14 feet
- Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): 80,000 pounds
Anytime a load exceeds these dimensions and weight, it has to be accompanied by the relevant permits to travel through public roads. If the load is divisible, you can disassemble it and have it moved as separate loads within the limits, thereby avoiding the need for permits. Contact us with the specs of your load for further assistance.

Determining if a Load Exceeds South Dakota's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure Oversize and Overweight Loads?
Accurate measurements are crucial for safe transportation in South Dakota and to prevent the dangers associated with over-dimensional loads on the road.
- Length: Using precise measuring tools, measure the vehicle length from the front to the farthest point of the load, including any overhangs, to obtain the overall length.
- Width: That includes the load's widest points.
- Height: It should be measured from ground level to the highest secured load point, factoring in trailer and cargo heights to avoid clearance issues under bridges and utility lines.
- Weight: It should be measured in three categories: gross weight, axle weight, and load weight. Certified truck scales ensure axle distribution meets state standards and that all weight measurements are accurate.
