Nationwide Heavy Haul Permits
Navigating the complex regulatory landscape of oversize and overweight transport. We secure permits, coordinate police escorts, and engineer safe routes for the nation's heaviest cargos.
Overweight Load Permits
Rapid acquisition of single-trip and annual overweight permits for 50 states. We handle state, county, and municipal jurisdictions.
Route Surveys & FEA
Physical route surveys, bridge engineering analysis (FEA), and swept path modeling for superloads exceeding 200,000 lbs.
Civil Escort Coordination
Direct coordination with State Police, Utility Companies, and DOT officials for bucket truck assistance and police escorts.
Superload Engineering
Detailed axle weight distribution analysis and schematic drafting to meet state bridge formulas (Federal Bridge Formula B).
Understanding Overweight Load Permits
Every state has unique regulations for oversize and overweight transport. While federal laws standardize weight limits on the Interstate system (80,000 lbs gross), anything exceeding this requires a state-issued permit.
When is a Route Survey Required?
For superloads (typically exceeding 16' high or 200,000 lbs), specialized heavy haul trucking companies must perform a physical route survey. This involves a pole car driving the exact route to measure overhead obstructions and bridge engineering analysis to ensure structural integrity.
Multi-State Permitting
The challenge of heavy haul logistics is coordinating permits across state lines. A load legal in Texas might require a superload permit in Louisiana. Everdauer manages this entire "permit matrix" to ensure seamless cross-country transport without delays at the scales.
