Every change to the site and the calculator, newest first. The permit rules themselves are checked on their own schedule — each state page shows the date its rules were last verified.
We now run Google ads and measure them with a Google tag, which sets advertising cookies. The privacy page says what the tag does and what Google receives. What you type into our forms does not go to Google, and we do not use the tag to show you ads on other sites.
A Dallas–Fort Worth oversize move can need permits from TxDMV, Dallas County and Tarrant County. A new guide says who issues which, sets out the two loops TxDOT closes to permits, and answers the curfew question. The Texas page now links it under the movement windows. Permigo files the TxDMV permit and works out the route.
The home page now shows a real trip we filed, Gonzales, Louisiana to Brunswick, Georgia: the route priced on the free calculator, five state permits filed, and one link texted to the driver. It sits under how it works, with a transcript for anyone who would rather read it.
Steel beams and other structural loads can move in Maryland with no permit, up to a point. MDOT SHA’s published rule says 70 feet, by daylight; it told us by phone that structural loads up to 75 feet need none. Our guide to Maryland’s structural load exemption sets both side by side, and the limits check follows the 75 feet when you tick Structural material.
Each state page's escort question used to say where escorts start and that the rest depends on the road. It now gives the count for each road type, width by width: in Texas, one escort over 14' wide (in front on a two-lane road, behind on a divided one) and two, front and rear, over 16'. See the Texas page.
The state map's escort views now show where a state first requires an escort on any of its main roads, the way our calculators quote a move. Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas need an escort over 12' wide on their two-lane roads; the map showed their four-lane figure before. See the map.
On New York's four-lane and divided highways, a load 100' long or more now gets a front escort as well as the rear one, as NYSDOT's permit guidelines ask. Its escort manual keeps only the rear car on those roads until 160', and the permit says which applies. The New York page, the cost calculator, the limits check and the state map now count that second car.
WVDOT asks for two rear escorts on the Interstate for loads 15'1" to 16' wide, and a third car in front on other four-lane roads. The cost calculator billed all three on the Interstate too. It now prices two when your route stays on the Interstate through West Virginia, and says so beside the escorts. Price a route.
By day, Colorado accepts a flashing yellow light at the back of the load instead of a rear escort: on four-lane routes from 13' to 17' wide, and behind the front escort on two-lane routes from 15' to 17'. The cost calculator no longer prices a rear car there. At night an escort is still required from 12' wide, and over 17' Colorado asks for a special permit. See Colorado's escort table.
Our email address is now permits@permigo.co. The old dispatch address no longer takes mail, so anything sent there came back. Every page, the contact page and the Privacy and Terms pages now show the new address.
In Illinois, Utah, Mississippi, Arizona and Colorado the first escort width the state publishes applies only at night. The state map and those five state pages showed it as the point where escorts start. They now show the daytime width, with the night figure beside it: Illinois needs an escort over 14'6" wide by day and over 8'6" at night. Utah's freeway night figure is also corrected to 12'. See the map.
The state map's escort views now show where a state requires an escort vehicle. A superload line, a route survey or an amber light that can stand in for the car no longer counts as an escort: Illinois adds a second escort by height at 18', not 15', and Georgia's four-lane roads need one over 14'8" wide, not 12'. The Colorado and North Dakota pages now say where a light is enough. See the map.
The Florida Turnpike guide's map no longer hides a closed ramp under a clear dot, keeps exit numbers and city names off the roads and off each other, and only counts a lane rule where your load fits the point at all. Open the map.
On the Florida Turnpike guide's map, toll roads now turn green where no FDOT limit stops a load your size, and red from exit to exit where one does. Zoom in to see the exits. Open the map.
The map on the Florida Turnpike guide now zooms past its four preset views. Use + and −, then drag to move around the clusters near Orlando and Tampa. Open the map.
Our map data files some city stretches of the Interstate and its interchange ramps as lesser roads, so a route that never left the Interstate could be priced a two-lane escort: a 10'6" load across Tennessee showed a front escort it doesn't need. The cost calculator now reads them as divided highway, and a shared link, a reload or a saved load prices the same escorts the route did.
The Florida Turnpike guide now has a map of the toll plazas, ramps and overpasses on FDOT's restriction list. Set your load's width and height, and the points it can't pass turn red. Open the map.
There’s no single 12-foot cap on Florida’s Turnpike. FDOT limits width at named toll plazas and ramps, from 9 to 15 feet, sends loads over 12 feet to named lanes, and lists the Turnpike’s low overpasses. A new guide sets them out, and the Florida page now answers whether a Florida permit covers the toll roads.
SCDOT now issues a single-trip permit automatically for a load up to 14 feet wide, 15 feet high and 100 feet long, with no overhang, up to 130,000 lb and 20,000 lb on any axle. In Permigo’s experience those permits come back the moment we file them; bigger loads still wait about a business day for SCDOT’s review. The South Carolina permit-time guide and the South Carolina page are updated.
Both calculators now refuse a figure they cannot read as one number, such as 8'6" typed into the feet box or 6 1/2, instead of misreading it, and the cost calculator names the box. A shared link brings back exactly the load it was priced from, to the inch, including the boxes left blank.
The cost calculator no longer adds escort cars for a state the load moves through legally, counts each end of a rule like “1 front + 2 rear escorts” separately, no longer bills a car where a state accepts an amber light instead, and prices combination rules such as Wisconsin’s over 12 feet wide and 110 feet long. It also says when a state’s answer is still open because a measurement is missing.
Indiana’s Department of Revenue requires a copy of Form M-204, the general provisions of an oversize/overweight permit, to be kept with every permit. Keep it in the permit binder: without it, the permit is not valid. The Indiana page now says what the driver carries and has the form to download.
South Carolina measures the trailer with its load, so a 53-foot trailer with even six inches of rear overhang needs a permit. The limits check and the cost calculator say so, and both have a new Structural material box: beams, pipe or poles that can’t be taken apart need no South Carolina permit up to 80 feet, by daylight, on a trailer over 53 feet as SCDOT applies it in our filings. The state page explains both.
Small labels across the calculators, the state pages and the forms are darker so they pass contrast checks, links inside sentences are underlined, and the quote form on every state page now draws its fields properly. The states map page is about half the size it was, so it opens sooner on a phone.
The home page draws sooner on a phone. It no longer fetches two images from the bottom of the page before the top has painted, and it hands the browser less to set up once it has. Screen readers now announce the star rows under the quotes, and Alaska and Hawaii as not served on the states map.
Structural loads up to 80 feet, such as steel beams, poles and pipes, move through California with no length permit, and Caltrans issues none. A new guide explains what qualifies, the two rear overhang rules that still apply and where a load needs a permit again. The California page now states those two rules. Its old 25-foot rear overhang figure was Caltrans’s line for a pilot car, not the legal limit.
The Iowa DOT’s oversize and overweight permit page lists the commercial permit services doing business with it, and Permigo is now one of them. The Iowa page says so under its citation, with a link that opens the Iowa DOT’s list at our entry. The Iowa DOT does not endorse one service over another.
Carriers who run oversize every week can open a fleet account. Permigo files each load as it comes in, with no approval per load, and bills the week on one invoice every Monday, due in 7 days. Pay by card, bank transfer or Zelle.
Georgia issues no oversize permit until the carrier’s insurance certificate is on file with the Department of Public Safety’s Oversize Permit Unit. A new guide gives the exact holder line, and the dates and amounts Georgia checks. The Georgia page now answers what insurance Georgia needs. Permigo puts the certificate on file with your first Georgia permit.
A Houston oversize move can need permits from TxDMV, the City of Houston and Harris County. A new guide says who issues which, lists the limits TxDOT’s Houston District sets inside the 610 Loop and on the toll lanes, and answers the curfew question. The Texas page now answers whether a Houston move needs a separate permit. Permigo files the TxDMV permit.
New York’s record was re-checked against state law and NYSDOT’s documents. The New York page and the limits check now say where 8'6" wide gives way to 8', and that the 65' length cap applies off the qualifying highways, whatever the trailer. A load 16' high is a superload, as NYSDOT counts it, and the page no longer quotes a superload review time New York does not publish.
The cost calculator now prices Washington, DC. A route through the District gets a DC leg with its own miles, DDOT’s permit fee and the pilot cars DDOT recommends, where before those miles dropped out between Maryland and Virginia. The limits check lists DC beside the 48 states, and the Washington, DC page links to the calculator like every state page.
Washington, DC now sits beside the 48 states wherever the site lists them. The states map colours it by its own limits and opens its full panel, the cost guide gives it a row of DDOT’s fees, and the weight-limits table and the superload table carry it too. Maryland and Virginia list it among their borders, and the home page’s coverage band links its page.
Permigo now files Washington, DC permits with DDOT. The new Washington, DC page has the District’s limits, DDOT’s pilot-car and police thresholds, and the roads in and around DC that a DDOT permit doesn’t open. DC is tighter on width than Maryland and Virginia: 8 feet, with 8 feet 6 inches only for tractor-trailers on its freeways and interstates. The Maryland and Virginia pages, the states map and the cost guide link to it.
Georgia’s “source” link in the weight-limits guide went nowhere. It now opens GDOT’s oversize permit page, which publishes Georgia’s permit fees.
Georgia’s movement windows said the state transportation department posts the holiday dates. The Georgia page and the limits check now say the Department of Public Safety’s Oversize Permit Unit posts them (the unit moved there in 2017), and list the six days its 2026 schedule bars travel: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
The Kansas Turnpike needs no permit of its own, but the Kansas Turnpike Authority adds its own limits: its go-ahead first over 12 feet wide or 125 feet long, and Monday to Thursday only over 14 feet wide. A new guide explains them, and the Kansas page now answers whether a Kansas permit covers the Turnpike.
The Ohio Turnpike guide now answers, in one place, what the Turnpike restricts: the sizes that need its own permit, the 2026 ban on anything over 10 feet wide or 13 feet 6 inches high, and its night and holiday limits.
Permigo files a South Carolina permit as soon as the order comes in, but in Permigo’s experience SCDOT reviews every single-trip permit by hand, about a business day behind, so a permit filed on Friday is usually reviewed on Monday. A new guide sets out the time for each kind of South Carolina permit and the permit office’s closures through New Year’s Day 2027, and the South Carolina page now says how far ahead to order.
Three state pages said no load faced a holiday blackout. Each state’s own permit rules stop larger loads on holidays: Montana over 18' wide on interstates and over 12'6" wide off them, North Dakota over 16' wide from noon the day before, and Vermont over 12' wide, 100' long or 108,000 lb. Each page now gives the threshold; smaller loads still move on holidays.
The Illinois Tollway issues its own oversize permit, apart from IDOT’s. Over 12 feet wide is a superload there, and oversize loads move only in daylight, on Sunday until noon. A new guide explains it, and the Illinois page now answers whether an Illinois permit covers the Tollway. Permigo files both permits.
Following a load link while already on the limits check kept the state that was on screen and answered for it instead. It now answers for the state the link names. A second check also no longer leaves the page redrawing in the background.
On some work networks the order form never finished opening and showed grey boxes. After ten seconds it now says it couldn’t open, gives our phone number for ordering by phone or text, and offers Try again. Anything already typed stays on the device.
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia bar weekend moves only above a width, height, length or weight, as their state pages say. The limits check and the cost calculator now flag those limits for a load past the trigger and leave smaller loads alone. Where a state still allows Saturday mornings, the cost calculator counts half a day for each weekend day, as it does for Ohio’s afternoon curfews.
Florida’s record was re-checked against FDOT’s documents and Florida law. The Florida page and the limits check now say a trailer past 57' needs a permit but brings no overall length cap; off limited-access roads, four-lane divided highways need two escorts over 150' long and two law enforcement escorts over 16' wide; and mobile cranes stop for holidays and curfews. The page also says which loads may move at night, and that the permit decides weekends.
Ohio makes the driver carry up to four documents with every ODOT special hauling permit: the permit itself, Form OS-1A (ODOT’s two-page sheet of the permit’s conditions), a bill of lading and a statement of gross vehicle weight. The Ohio page now lists all four, citing the state’s rule, and has the form to download.
The Ohio Turnpike issues its own permit, apart from ODOT’s, with its own limits and fees, and until January 2, 2027 it takes nothing over 10 feet wide or 13 feet 6 inches high. A new guide explains it, and the Ohio page now answers whether an Ohio permit covers the Turnpike. Permigo files both permits.
The Ohio page said no load faced a weekend blackout. ODOT’s permit provisions (Form OS-1A) stop a load over 12' wide at 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from April 1 to November 30 at 3 p.m. on Friday. The page and the limits check now say so; a load 12' wide or less still moves in daylight on weekends. The Florida page’s weekend label now matches its answer: the permit sets weekends.
“Start an order” now opens the order page. New to Permigo? Send the trip, load, truck, trailer, driver and company in one form, no account needed. Addresses fill in as you type, and a yard can go by its coordinates. Already ordering through FleetLynk? Sign in from the same page. A load priced in the calculator comes along either way.
Eight state pages said no load faced a weekend blackout. Each state’s own permit rules stop larger loads on weekends: Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota and West Virginia by width, Minnesota on summer Friday and Sunday evenings, Montana off the interstates, and Vermont by width, length or weight. Each page now gives the threshold; smaller loads still move on weekends.
Ohio stops loads over 12' wide on weekend afternoons and leaves narrower loads alone. The limits check now flags those curfews for a load over 12' wide and says no weekend restriction for one 12' or less, and the cost calculator counts each lost afternoon as half a day when it gives the trip a range.
Three state pages showed a web code where a statute citation needed the section sign. Florida’s overhang note now reads “§ 316.515(3)(b)1”, and Alabama’s and Delaware’s are fixed the same way. In the weight limits guide, the bridge formula in the questions at the foot now shows its ÷ and − signs.
Over 12' up to 14' wide, Florida asks for one escort, and for two on lanes under 12', on bridges under 30' curb to curb and on busy roads, unless the load carries at least four warning lights, two front and two rear. The escort table on the Florida page now says so on both road types, citing Rule 14-26.012, and so does the limits check.
When Permigo files a trip, the driver gets one link with the route map, every state’s permit, an AI summary of each, and the escort cars with the meeting point. A new guide walks through it with real screens of the driver page, on an example trip from the cargo area at Miami International Airport to Houston on I-95 and I-10. The five state pages on that route link to it.
On 15 state pages, the answer to “When does the state require an escort?” gave one width, while the escort table on the same page sets one per road type. West Virginia’s answer said 12', but its table starts two-lane roads at 10'6". Each answer now gives one width per road type — for West Virginia, from 10'6" on two-lane roads and over 12' on multilane highways.
On October 1, 2026 West Virginia replaced WV GotPermits with WVTRIPS, reached through the state’s new Speed to Build portal. Accounts and permits did not carry over. A new guide explains what changed and what did not. The West Virginia page now calls the permit by the state’s name, a hauling permit, and links to the guide.
Once you send a message from the contact page, its button reads “Sent” and stays that way until you change a field, so a permit agent gets your message once. Change the message or your details and you can send it again.
Once you send the quote form, its button reads “Sent — we’ll call you back” and stays that way until you change a field, so a permit agent gets your request once. Change the route or your number and you can send it again.
Calculator access is free for customers who file permits with PERMIGO. Everyone else starts with five free checks a month, and the Starter, Team and Business plans add checks and users. The plans, and what every plan includes, are on the calculator’s pricing page.
Call, text, WhatsApp, Telegram, email and our hours, beside a message form, at the contact page. Ask for a custom plan or a demo from the pricing page and the form opens on that topic.
The calculator routes the load as a truck of its height, width and weight, so low bridges and roads closed to trucks are kept off the route, and every state it crosses is priced from that state’s own permit schedule. The details are in the questions under the calculator.
The permit and escort cost calculator now lives at permigo.co/calculator, and the single-state limits check at /calculator/limits/. Old links redirect.
The Virginia page now uses the state’s own name for the permit — a hauling permit, issued through EZ Haul — and answers one more question. The home page links every state’s page directly.
Each of the 48 state pages answers three more of the questions drivers ask, and carries a quote form for that state.
State records were re-checked against the schedules published for September. Oklahoma’s length escort band moved from 80 feet to 90 feet under docket 25-1024; each state page shows the date its rules were last verified.
