Superloads: When the gross vehicle weight exceeds 254,000 pounds, permit requests must include detailed information, and inquiries should be made to the Truck Permit Office well in advance, typically about a month prior. For loads surpassing 900,000 pounds, an analysis by an independent engineering firm may be required, and additional time should be factored in for this process.
