Nevada oversize load permits
Nevada 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.
Nevada 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 Nevada and the load needs a permit. Nevada's 70' combination limit (NRS 484D.615(3)) does not apply to a truck-tractor drawing a semitrailer of 53' or less, or a tractor with a semitrailer and trailer neither over 28'6" — subsection 9 exempts them, and 23 CFR 658.13(b)(3) bars a state from capping those combinations at all. The tractor never enters the math: a 74' rig with a 53' trailer is legal at zero permits. The 70' cap snaps back on an extendable trailer pulled past 53', a heavy haul on jeeps or boosters, a straight truck pulling a trailer, or doubles with either unit over 28'6". Overhang is capped separately at 10' front or rear regardless of overall length, and a reducible load over 70' is an LCV, filed with the DMV Motor Carrier Division rather than NDOT. Permigo files it for a flat $20, with the state's own fee billed at cost.
Overhang is capped at 10' combined front and rear, on top of 10' at the front and 10' at the rear — so 6' at the front plus 6' at the rear is 12', over the limit even though each end clears its own cap. Break any of the three and Nevada requires a permit.

Nevada oversize permits, answered
Do I need an oversize permit in Nevada?
You need a permit in Nevada 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 published. Axle limits apply too — 20,000 lb on a single axle and 34,000 lb on a tandem.
When does Nevada require an escort?
Nevada requires no escort below 14' 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 Nevada?
Daylight hours only. Weekend restrictions apply. Holiday movement is restricted.
What counts as a superload in Nevada?
A load over 17' wide, over 18'0" high, over 200' long, over 500,000 lb is handled as a superload in Nevada. Allow about 10 business days for review.
How much does a Nevada oversize permit cost?
Permigo charges a flat $20 service fee per state permit. Nevada'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 a Nevada permit?
Moving above Nevada'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 Nevada 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 Nevada 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 Nevada 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 Nevada itself charges is on the cost guide.
Is a Nevada oversize permit the same as a Nevada truck permit?
No. A "truck permit" usually means the paperwork a truck needs to cross Nevada 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 Nevada's legal size or weight, and that is what Permigo files.
