Vehicle Sizes & Weights Manual

The VEHICLE SIZES AND WEIGHTS MANUAL is designed to present, in an “easy to find” and understandable format, federal, individual state and Canadian size and weight limitations, as well as the requirements for overdimensional and overweight movements.
The first part of each state and Canadian section contains the legal limitations on vehicular length, width, height and weight. Within the weight limitations are included the maximum weight practicable, maximum tandem axle weight, maximum axle weight, maximum wheel weight and maximum weight per inch width of tire.
Part two contains the regulations, procedures, forms and fees required for obtaining overdimensional and overweight permits. Also included are the requirements for marking of vehicles and/or loads, flagmen, escort vehicles, financial responsibility, weigh scale locations, weekend and holiday restrictions, ports of entry, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the controlling regulatory agencies.
