Legal size & loaded measurements
General width
8′6″Ordinary vehicle-and-load limit; safety-device, vehicle and load exceptions may apply.
Loaded height
14′Ordinary vehicle-and-load limit; listed exceptions and actual route clearances apply.
Loaded dimensions
Nevada's general legal baselines are 102 inches width and 14 feet height; length, overhang and exceptions depend on configuration and load class.
Axles, weight & bridges
Use each axle/group, spacing, tire limits, gross weight, registration, bridge formula and live route/structure restrictions; GVW alone is not a Nevada answer.
Permits, routes & larger loads
Roads & authorities
NDOT permits cover the state highways listed on the permit and adjacent service access only. Route ownership, local roads, tribal/municipal authority and every route condition must be confirmed.
When a permit is needed
Overlegal size, overformula weight or overhang needs the applicable Nevada permit before movement. Single-trip, annual and scoped commodity/equipment products have different limits and conditions.
State permit fees
Single-trip agency fee example
$25 for this Nevada planning example: a nondivisible load measuring 8′7″ wide, 13′ high and 70′ overall, at 72,000 lb gross on a five-axle rig with a 48′ trailer. The example uses 100 in-state miles. Change the load details in the calculator for your move.
What the agency estimate includes
The calculator applies Nevada's maintained single-trip permit schedule to the loaded vehicle and the supplied fee inputs. It itemizes the supported state charges, including weight or distance charges where applicable. Annual permits, special products, local permissions and payment-method charges need their own applicable schedule.

About the example equipment
The samples use ODPermit’s editable 48 ft flatbed · 5 axles planning profile. Loaded dimensions, gross weight, 100 state miles and Texas registration are example inputs, not a capacity rating or a route approval. Replace them with your actual setup.
Great Dane Freedom trailer specifications — 48 ft platform; the illustrated 40 in drop deck and 20 in drop support a 60 in upper-deck planning height. Combined tare and tractor geometry are editable ODPermit assumptions.
Pilot cars, height poles & surveys
14′6″-wide load example
Example: 14′6″ wide × 13′ high, 75′ overall, 72,000 lb gross, zero overhang or rear projection, ordinary nondivisible freight in daylight. Two- and three-lane roads: 1 front and 1 rear. Roads with four or more lanes: 1 rear.
17′6″-high load example
Example: 9′ wide × 17′6″ high, 75′ overall, 72,000 lb gross, zero overhang or rear projection, ordinary nondivisible freight in daylight. Two- and three-lane roads: 1 front (height pole). Roads with four or more lanes: 1 front (height pole). The leading car needs a clearance pole. It is included in the plan. Depending on the road or permit conditions: NDOT may add pilots, utility support and police traffic control above 17 ft wide on two/three-lane roads, 19 ft wide on wider roads, or 16 ft high.
Travel hours & road restrictions
Travel hours
Darkness, holiday and weekend travel is allowed only when the permit or special Department instructions authorize it; direction-specific I-15 windows and the current route/date must be checked.
Current route restrictions
Check traffic, weather, posted and advisory speeds, construction, route limitations, bridge/structure restrictions, holiday/weekend conditions and every condition printed on the permit.
Signs, flags & safety equipment
Safety equipment
Use the prescribed OVERSIZE LOAD signs, flags, darkness lamps, pilot amber lights, identification and STOP/SLOW equipment, safe operation, securement and any inspection or permit condition.
What the driver needs
Carry the permit
Carry the issued permit and all current instructions, route, speed, pilot, inspection and authority attachments; the permit can be suspended or revoked for unsafe or noncompliant movement.
Prepare the driver packet
The driver packet must match the issued vehicle/load, route, dates, dimensions, axle/weight facts, route survey, pilots, inspection and local approvals. No generic permit copy substitutes for the issued record.
Special equipment & permit programs
Special permit programs
Commodity, manufactured/mobile-home, self-propelled-crane and other scoped programs have their own diagrams, nonreducibility, route, weight, inspection and safety conditions.
BEFORE THE TRUCK ROLLS
Turn the estimate
into a permitted move.
Confirm the loaded measurements, carrier details, travel dates and exact pickup and delivery. We can help coordinate permits, escorts and route surveys around those facts.
