Frequently asked questions
Can oversize loads travel at night?
Some states allow it for moderate dimensions on approved routes; most restrict wide loads to daylight. Your permit lists the exact window.
Are weekends always restricted?
No — many states allow weekend travel for smaller oversize loads. Bigger dimensions tighten the rules fast.
Do cities add their own curfews?
Yes — metro areas layer rush-hour curfews on top of state rules. We flag them in route planning before you commit delivery dates.
We plan permits around curfews so your load keeps moving legally.
