01About this service
About this service
A load wider than 8.5 feet, taller than 13.5 feet or longer than 75 feet needs an oversize load permit to travel on State highways and interstates: a manufactured home, a boat on its trailer, a cane harvester, a crane.
The permit is issued online at once, for one trip, from one to five days. It names the route and the days of travel, and troopers and weigh stations scan its QR code.
