Oversize and Overweight Permit Services in Wisconsin

Nationwide Transport offers affordable acquisition services for oversized and overweight permits for loads traveling in Wisconsin. Transporting oversized loads across the state’s rolling hills, dense forests, and bustling city centers demands expertise and precision. The shipping regulations in Wisconsin can be intricate, and non-compliance risks severe penalties that could disrupt your project timeline. With over a decade of experience, we are well-versed in the industry’s needs, handling both single loads and complex, multi-load shipments. We work closely with local, city, and state authorities to meet all requirements, ensuring a seamless journey through Wisconsin. Known for its rich agriculture, manufacturing, and dairy industries, we frequently transport large machinery, farming equipment, and industrial components to the state. Significant cities like Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay often impose specific route and clearance restrictions due to narrow roads, historic bridges, and high-traffic areas. To meet the needs of our clients, we also offer specialized equipment, including trailers, pilot cars, cranes, and heavy-duty trucks. Speak to us for further assistance.

How Do You Measure the Size and Weight of an Oversize Load?

In Wisconsin, accurate measurements are vital for the safe and compliant transport of oversized and overweight loads. Each dimension should be carefully documented as follows:

  • Length: Measure from the front of the vehicle to the farthest point of the load, including any overhang.
  • Width: Measure across the load’s widest point, including parts extending beyond the trailer. Proper width measurements prevent complications on narrow roads or when crossing bridges with width limitations.
  • Height: Measure from the ground to the highest secured point on the load, taking into account the trailer and cargo heights. Accurate height measurements are crucial for ensuring clearances under Wisconsin’s bridges, tunnels, and utility lines.
  • Weight: Using a certified scale is essential for accurate weight measurement, which ensures proper axle distribution, prevents damage to infrastructure, and aligns with Wisconsin’s weight regulations.
