We service many industries, some of which include the following: oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, manufacturing, and construction industries. State Oversize/Overweight Load Permit Contacts What is OD freight? Over-dimensional freight is any cargo that exceeds the legal specifications dictated by the US Department of Transportation and each specific state or province. While these can vary depending on the jurisdiction, a general guideline for legal parameters is: 53’ long, 8’ 6” wide and 13’ 6” tall (on the trailer). The height limit will vary, generally speaking the western states and provinces, except for British Columbia, the height limit is 14’. As a general rule, any state east of the Mississippi River will limit the height of cargo to 13’ 6”. Cargo that exceeds any these parameters and is non-reducible in size, is considered oversized or over dimensional and requires a permit before being shipped. Cargo that is taller than 16’ enters a new category called “super status.” This requires a different type of permit and often a pole car will need to dry run the route before the shipment commences. Super status shipments are complicated and require an experienced driving team. The super status can vary depending on the state as well, for example Florida considers anything over 15’ in height to be super status load, due to the low infrastructure in that particular state. Shipping Process for OD Freight TWW will conduct a detailed route survey that takes into account all expected obstacles for a particular shipment. This can be complicated as different states and provinces have different regulations for shipping oversized items. For example, some states may allow travel at night with over dimensional freight, whereas others may require that you park your truck for the evening or weekend. Depending on how disruptive the cargo might be to other vehicles on the load, quite often the truck will not be allowed to travel during peak rush hour times within city limits. Depending on the nature of the cargo we may have one or two pilot cars, with a height pole attached to the lead car for cargo that is over height. By running a quarter mile ahead of the truck, the pole car can give ample warning to the truck driver if the pole hits some low hanging power lines or other unforeseen infrastructure.
