What is an over dimensional shipment?
Overweight
The legal weight limit for truck and freight is 80,000 pounds total gross. This means that the weight available for the freight is 80,000 minus the weight of the vehicle.
Overheight
Nationwide, the maximum height for the trailer and freight ranges from 13 feet, 6 inches (typically east of the Mississippi) to 14 feet (most areas west of the Mississippi).
Overwidth
The nationwide width limit is 8 feet, 6 inches. This is the width of most trailers, so as long as your freight fits within the confines of the trailer, it’s not considered over dimensional.
Overlength
Standard trailers in the trucking industry are 48-feet or 53-feet long. If the length of your commodity fits within the legal confines of the trailer, it will not need additional permits.
