What You Should Know About California Oversize Permits.
California oversize permits are required for moving loads that exceed standard dimensions. These permits are good for seven days, allowing for uninterrupted transit provided your load does not require escorts. However, if your cargo exceeds 10 feet wide, there are special travel limits during peak hours in areas such as Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Key Requirements for Oversized Permits
To receive California oversize permits, you must meet the following major requirements:
Legal Dimensions: Maximum width is 8 feet 6 inches, height is 14 feet, and length is up to 75 feet (65 feet on non-designated roadways).
Weight Limits: The overall weight cannot exceed 80,000 pounds.
Escort cars: Depending on the size of your load, you may require one or more escort cars.
