Specialized Freight · Driver Training VideoOversize / Overweight Loads
Federal limits cap gross weight at 80,000 pounds, 20,000 on a single axle, and 34,000 on a tandem, and legal width without a permit is 8 feet 6 inches. Drivers learn to carry a valid permit that matches the actual load and check route restrictions.
Branded with your logo & company nameWhat drivers learn
Every load you pull has legal limits, and stepping outside them changes everything about how that trip has to be driven.
Start with weight
Federal law caps gross vehicle weight at eighty thousand pounds on the interstate system, with twenty thousand pounds max on a single axle and thirty-four thousand pounds max on a tandem axle group. The bridge formula can push those numbers lower depending on your axle spacing.
Now size
The standard legal width without a permit is eight feet six inches, and height and length limits vary state to state — which is exactly why you never assume. Before you touch an oversize load, the permit is your rulebook for that trip.
Your company standard: every oversize or overweight load moves on a valid permit, in the cab, matching the load you are actually pulling — not an old one, not a similar one.
Flags and oversize-load signage go on before you move, not after the scale house waves you through. If a trooper or scale inspector asks for the permit, it comes out immediately — never argue, never guess.
This load is heavier, wider, or taller because someone needs it moved — not because the rules bend for it. Slow down, plan the route, trust the permit, and get it there in one piece.
