Arizona oversize load permits
Arizona allows 14'0" unpermitted, which 20 states do. The other 26 cap at 13'6" — so a 14-foot load legal here needs a permit the moment it crosses into most of them.
Arizona permit requirements
The same seven sections for every state, so two states can be compared without re-learning the layout.
Permit required above
Exceed any one of these in Arizona and the load needs a permit. No overall cap on the National Network — the 57'6" trailer limit governs. 65' applies to non-NN combinations. A trailer longer than 57'6" re-activates the state's 65' overall cap. Permigo files it for a flat $20, with the state's own fee billed at cost.
Front and rear overhang are capped separately, not combined. Exceed either and Arizona requires a permit.

Arizona oversize permits, answered
Do I need an oversize permit in Arizona?
You need a permit in Arizona once the load exceeds any one of these: 8'6" wide, 14'0" high, or 80,000 lb gross. There is no overall length cap on a normal tractor-semitrailer — the trailer itself is capped at 57'6" instead. Axle limits apply too — 20,000 lb on a single axle and 34,000 lb on a tandem.
When does Arizona require an escort?
Arizona requires no escort below 11' wide. Above that the requirement depends on the road type as well as the dimension, which is why the same load can need a front escort on a two-lane and a rear escort on a multilane.
Can I move an oversize load at night in Arizona?
Daylight only above 10' wide. There is no general weekend blackout. Holiday movement is restricted.
What counts as a superload in Arizona?
A load over 16' wide, over 16'0" high, over 120' long, over 250,000 lb is handled as a superload in Arizona. Allow about 14 business days for review.
How much does an Arizona oversize permit cost?
Permigo charges a flat $20 service fee per state permit. Arizona's own permit fee is billed at cost on the same invoice, itemised, with nothing added. Call +1 (786) 494-6912 and we will price your exact route.
What happens if I move without an Arizona permit?
Moving above Arizona's limits without a permit is a violation, not a paperwork gap. The load can be stopped at a scale or by a trooper and held until a permit is issued, the fine is set by Arizona and the citing officer, and a pattern of violations follows the carrier's safety record. If you are not sure the load needs one, when you need an oversize permit walks through the triggers.
Which kind of Arizona permit do I need?
Most moves take a single-trip permit: one load, one route, a set number of days. Many states also sell annual or blanket permits for loads that stay within routine dimensions; whether Arizona does, and for which loads, is on the state's own permit page. A superload is permitted separately and reviewed by the state — the thresholds are in the answer above. Permigo files whichever kind the load needs at the same $20 flat fee; what Arizona itself charges is on the cost guide.
Is an Arizona oversize permit the same as an Arizona truck permit?
No. A "truck permit" usually means the paperwork a truck needs to cross Arizona at all — a trip permit, a fuel permit (IFTA) or IRP plates — which the state's motor-carrier office issues. An oversize or overweight permit covers one load that exceeds Arizona's legal size or weight, and that is what Permigo files.
