Oversize Permit Guidance & Support
Getting oversize and overweight loads legally down the road requires more than a truck and a driver — it requires navigating a complex, state-by-state permitting system with varying rules, routes, restrictions, and fees. At Oversize Insurance, we understand the permit side of the business, not just the insurance side.
The Permit Landscape
Every state has its own rules for what constitutes an oversize or overweight load, what permits are required, what routes are approved, when travel is allowed, and what escort requirements apply. Multi-state moves require coordination across multiple permitting agencies, and changes in regulations or route conditions can affect your move on short notice.
How We Help
While we don’t issue permits directly, we work with carriers who regularly navigate the permit process and can refer you to reliable permit services and pilot car providers. More importantly, we understand how permit requirements interact with your insurance program — including when your policy needs to reflect specific state requirements, MCS-90 endorsements, or additional insured obligations tied to your permits.
Insurance That Matches Your Operations
Carriers that run oversize loads face insurance requirements that go beyond standard trucking. Your policy needs to be written by a carrier that understands OD operations and won’t create problems at audit or claim time because your actual work didn’t match your policy’s assumptions. We make sure your coverage reflects what you actually do.
