Oversized and overweight loads refer to cargo that is too large or too heavy to be transported on regular trucks or trailers. These loads may require special permits and routing, as well as specialized equipment and experienced drivers to handle them safely. There are federal and state regulations in place to ensure the safe transport of oversized and overweight loads on public roads. These regulations typically specify the maximum size and weight for vehicles and loads, as well as any special requirements that must be met, such as the use of escorts or flags. Oversized and overweight loads may also be subject to additional fees and charges, as they may require the use of specialized equipment and additional resources to transport.
