What Are California Oversize Permits?

Imagine you're driving an oversize load that simply won't fit inside the typical road restrictions. This is where California oversize permits come into play! These specialized permits allow you to legally and securely move larger-than-oversize loads across the Golden State. Each permit is good for seven days, so you have plenty of time to finish your objective.

Before you head off, be sure you understand your load's size and weight constraints. Consider these restrictions as your route map to success:

Width: Up to 8 feet 6 inches.
Height: maximum of 14 feet.
Length: Up to 75 feet (or 65 feet on some routes).
Weight: The maximum gross weight is 80,000 pounds, with precise restrictions for each axle.
- Steer axle weighs 12,500 pounds.
- Single axle weight: 20,000 pounds.
- Tandem axle, 34,000 pounds.

1. Single-Trip Permit: Ideal for one-time, oversize activities.
2. Annual Permit: Ideal for organizations that often carry oversize load—consider it your VIP pass!
3. Special Permits: For certain loads, often known as "super loads," these permits are your ticket to the big leagues.
