    The rule in full6 official sources

    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.

    NN semitrailer: 53′

    Federal National Network allowance for a tractor with one semitrailer. Longer trailers may qualify under state axle-position and route rules; local roads can differ.

    Overall length: No NN cap*

    *For a tractor with one compliant semitrailer on the National Network. Other combinations, trailers, projecting loads and local access have separate limits; see the state measurements below.

    Interstate weight: 80,000 lb*

    *Federal baseline, subject to the bridge formula, registration and postings: 20,000 lb single axle and 34,000 lb tandem. A particular configuration may have a lower limit; state grandfather allowances need verified spacing and route eligibility.

    Legal size

    Legal limits are 8′6″ wide and 14′ high, with a 40′ load length. Combination length depends on the vehicle type and approved route maps.

    Weight limits

    Use the lowest of the tire, sidewall, axle, group-table and gross limits. Then check registration, road class and current bridge restrictions. Gross weight alone does not settle it.

    Axle limits: legal and with a permit

    Legal: single 20,000 lb, tandem 34,000 lb. With a permit: single (weight tables 3–4) 21,500 lb, tandem (weight tables 3–4) 43,000 lb, tandem (weight table 5) 48,000 lb, groups and gross by number of axles and wheelbase on the weight table. Every axle is also capped at 600 lb per inch of tire width and the tire sidewall rating. Above Weight Table 5 allowances, ask for a bridge engineer review (up to 5 business days).

    Permitted overhang

    A single-trip permit may allow a combination's rear overhang up to half its wheelbase; a solo vehicle's permit may allow rear overhang up to its full wheelbase if front overhang is 4′ or less. Wheelbase is measured from the first axle to the last. Rear overhang is measured from the last axle to the end of the load.

  2. 02Requirements

    Where each requirement starts

    Pilot carsWidth over 8′6″

    8′7″ to 9′ wide: no pilot car on Interstates/multi-lane or Map 2 green and purple routes. On Map 2 red routes it follows Group Map 1: none on black, 1 on blue, 2 (front and rear) on red. Your permit's number wins if different.

    What official sources leave open13

    Where Oregon’s official sources disagree or say nothing, confirm with the agency before dispatch.

    • ODOT's 2027 holiday list gives the right 2027 holiday dates (Memorial Day Monday May 31; Independence Day observed Monday July 5; Labor Day Monday September 6; Thanksgiving Thursday November 25; Christmas observed Friday December 24), but every restriction window after New Year's repeats the 2026 dates (e.g. Memorial Day 'Noon Friday, May 22 until 1/2 hour before sunrise Tuesday, May 26'). None of those 2027 windows is published here; only the New Year's 2027 window, which the page states correctly, is included. Confirm 2027 windows with the Over-Dimension Permit Unit (503-373-0000).
    • The travel page's mobile/modular holiday notes contain date errors (e.g. 'after 12 Noon on Friday, May 23 or all day Monday, May 26' in 2026, and 'all day Sunday, January 1, 2027'); the non-divisible load section was used for the no-overwidth days.
    • The travel page's non-divisible New Year's 2027 entry contradicts itself: it allows night travel 'from 12:01 a.m. Saturday, January 2 to 12 Midnight Sunday January 3' but says no overwidth movement 'all day Sunday, January 3, 2027'. Attachment H bars all overwidth movement on the Sunday of a Friday-holiday weekend, so January 3 is listed as a no-move day.
    • OAR 734-082-0035 puts a single pilot car ahead of the load 'unless specified otherwise', while the Route Map 2 legend puts it at the rear on multilane highways. Follow the permit.
    • OAR 734-082-0021 cites Attachment H revised January 2023; the posted Attachment H is revised 01-26.
    • ODOT's annual Self-Propelled Vehicle permit is described as up to 12′ wide and 98,000 lb, while OAR 734-082-0039 allows continuous-trip permits for self-propelled fixed-load vehicles up to 14′ wide, 14′ high and 98,000 lb.
    • Triples, long logs and tow trucks have different holiday windows (2 p.m. or 4 p.m. starts); this file lists the non-divisible and mobile/modular windows.
    • No law enforcement escort threshold is published in the pages read; ODOT may monitor moves instead.
    • No general pilot-car operator certification rule appears in the pages read; certification is stated only for flaggers and for pilot cars doing a rolling stop.
    • No two-trigger rule: pilot charts are set per dimension and the permit governs.
    • No statewide maximum permit width, height or length is published beyond the superload triggers. Region 5's district guide allows up to 22′ wide on freeways for any substantial distance, 22′–26′ only for 0–5 mile freeway hauls, and no moves at 26′ or wider. Over-height loads are routed using a 4″ buffer under each structure's lowest measured clearance (OAR 734-082-0025).
    • The Attachment SL (superload driver requirements, form 2364) link on ODOT's attachments page returns 404.
    • Whether an electronic copy of the permit satisfies the carry requirement is not stated in the pages read; OAR 734-082-0011 only says a permit may be mailed, transmitted electronically or made available online.

    Width 12′: Daylight only

    Over 12′ wide: no travel during hours of darkness on any route.

    Width 14′: Pilots for 14′–16′

    14′1″ to 16′ wide: 1 rear pilot car on Interstates and multi-lane, 2 on Map 2 green routes, set by the permit elsewhere.

    Width 14′: Superload on two-lane

    Non-divisible loads over 14′ wide on any state two-lane highway are superloads (mobile/modular units have their own trigger).

    Width 16′: Pilots set by permit

    Over 16′ wide: the single-trip permit sets the number and placement of pilot cars.

    Width 16′: Superload on Interstate

    Over 16′ wide on Interstates and multi-lane state highways is a superload; send a load diagram with the request.

    Height 14′: Legal height

    Up to 14′ high moves without a permit; taller needs one.

    Height 14′6″: Height pole or declaration

    Over 14′6″ high: a front pilot car with a height pole, unless your company has a signed liability declaration on file with CCD.

    Height 17′: Superload

    Over 17′ high on any highway is a superload.

    Length 53′ trailer: Legal semitrailer

    Tractor-semitrailer: 53′ maximum trailer. On Route Map 7 routes there is no overall limit; on Group 1 highways the combination is held to 60′.

    Length 150′: Pilots set by permit

    Over 150′ overall: the single-trip permit sets the number and placement of pilot cars.

    Length 150′: Superload

    Over 150′ overall length is a superload.

    Overhang 4′ front: Legal front overhang

    Load sticking out more than 4′ past the front bumper or foremost part of the vehicle needs a permit. A solo vehicle also needs one when rear overhang exceeds 3/4 of its wheelbase.

    Overhang 4′ rear: Rear overhang marking

    A load sticking out 4′ or more behind the bed must be visibly marked at its end; a red flag or cloth used must be at least 18″ square. End-load lights are required when visibility is under 500′, including darkness.

    Overhang 15′ front: Front pilot on two-lane

    Front overhang over 15′: 1 pilot car on two-lane state highways, none on Interstates and multi-lane.

    Weight 80,000 lb: Legal gross

    80,000 lb gross maximum without a permit, limited also by tires, axles and Weight Table 1.

    Weight 98,000 lb: Annual heavy-haul limit

    Annual continuous-operation permits for non-divisible loads go up to 98,000 lb; heavier needs a single-trip permit based on axles and wheelbase.

    Weight 105,500 lb: Extended weight limit

    Extended weight permits for divisible loads on legal axles allow up to 105,500 lb gross.

    Roads & authorities

    ODOT CCD issues state-highway permits for oversize loads. County and city roads, Portland streets, bridges, construction and local approvals must be checked separately.

    When a permit is needed

    A load over Oregon's legal size or weight needs an ODOT variance permit before moving. Single-trip and annual permits have different scopes and conditions.

    Superloads

    Routine permits cover extended weight, nondivisible loads, mobile and modular units and long logs. Superload review starts at 14′ or 16′ wide depending on the route, 17′ high or 150′ long.

    Superload

    A load is a superload when it exceeds any of these: Over 16′ wide on Interstates and multi-lane state highways. Over 14′ wide on any state two-lane highway (non-divisible loads). Over 17′ high on any highway. Over 150′ overall length. Mobile home box over 14′ wide or overall width over 15′.

    Superload request and lead time

    Allow up to 10 days for a superload permit, longer in special cases. Send: Contact, move date, commodity and loaded dimensions. A load diagram when load, trailer or axle width exceeds 16′. Axle spacings and weights on Weight Table 3 or higher. Route, travel speeds (level and uphill) and vehicle details. A traffic control plan if your load needs one, run with Oregon certified flaggers and your pilot cars. If ODOT staff monitor the move or adjust signals or utility lines, ODOT may bill you directly.

    Route surveys

    Before a superload permit is approved, ODOT's regional electrical crews may require a route survey. The permit analyst checks structures and overpasses only, not signal lines, utility lines or traffic signals. The survey lists low obstacles, how you'll get around them, and the survey date.

    Bridge engineer review

    Loads that meet Weight Table 5's axle minimums but exceed its allowances can ask for a bridge engineer review. Review is specific to the route, axle weights and spacing. Not all requests are approved; any change must be resubmitted. Some weight-restricted bridges are off limits even for extended weight (Route Map 8).

    County roads, Portland and forest roads

    Single-trip and annual permits can include county roads and Portland city streets; Portland is annual permits only. Adding county roads may delay issuance. Forest Service roads need their own authorization.

    Past the chart: district approval

    On two-lane highways, loads wider than the Route Map 2 chart covers (over 16′ on green, 14′ on purple, 12′ on red routes) need district approval case by case; the district can set pilot cars, flaggers and travel times. Interstate and multilane: most districts allow 16′1″ to 18′ (20′ in some) with two rear pilot cars and send wider loads to district approval; District 1 sends anything over 16′. District-approval minimums vary by district and route: one front and one rear, two front and one rear, or one front and two rear on multilane. Check your district's page in the Pilot Car Guide before quoting.

    ODOT-monitored moves

    ODOT staff may monitor an oversize move as a permit condition, based on load geometry, travel speed, traffic impact and construction zones. If monitoring or work such as moving signals or adjusting utility lines is needed, ODOT may charge for it and bill the carrier directly.

    On any oversize move

    Where the permit authorizes certified pilot operators to control traffic, the current rule requires at least a front and rear pilot. A Certified Rolling Stop under Form 8101 requires three certified pilots. The approved traffic-control method and district conditions determine the assignment; neither is inferred from load size alone.

    Night travel up to 12′ wide on Interstates

    Non-divisible loads may travel at night (30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise) only up to 12′ wide on Interstates and up to 10′ wide on other green routes on ODOT Map 2; wider loads move in daylight. Holiday limits run from noon the day before until 30 minutes before sunrise the day after, longer around Monday, Friday and Thanksgiving holidays. Attachment H adds summer weekend limits through Portland, Salem, Eugene, Grants Pass and Medford.

    What sets your hours

    There is no single travel window. Width, cargo, route map, Attachment H, holidays, weather, bridges and the permit decide your hours.

    Current route restrictions

    Before leaving, check TripCheck, road and bridge restrictions, the six holiday periods, construction, wildfire, landslides, weather, traction rules and county and city postings.

    Night travel

    Outside holidays, non-divisible loads may run during hours of darkness only up to 12′ wide on Interstates and 10′ on other Map 2 green routes. Mobile and modular units: up to 10′ wide, Interstates only. At night, light the outermost points with lamps or markers per ORS 816 and FMCSR 393.

    Urban rush-hour limits

    In Portland, Salem, Eugene, Grants Pass and Medford, during 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m. on business days: 12′1″ to 14′: not on I-5 between Washington and OR217, I-5 exits 24–33, or any non-Interstate. Over 14′ (mobile/modular: over 14′ base or 15′ overall): not on any highway, and also no moves 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Portland, Monday–Friday 7–9 a.m. and 4–6 p.m.: over 14′ barred on I-5 from Washington to MP 278, I-84 from MP 15 to I-5, I-205, and US26 from MP 64 to I-405.

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 Oregon registration are example inputs, not a capacity rating or a route approval. Replace them with your actual setup.

Great Dane Freedom flatbed brochure — Drop-deck option: 20–26 in drop from the upper deck with a 40–34 in rear deck height, which gives the 60 in upper-deck planning height. Platform length, combined tare and tractor geometry are editable ODPermit assumptions.
