In the United States, an oversize load is a vehicle and/or load that is wider than 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m). Each individual state has different requirements regarding height and length (most states are 13 ft 6 in or 4.11 m tall), and a driver must purchase a permit for each state he/she will be traveling through.
An oversize permit is a document obtained from a state, county, city or province to authorize travel in the specified jurisdiction for oversize/overweight truck movement. In most cases it will list the hauler's name, the description of the load and its dimensions, and a route they are required to travel.
