The Basics
What Makes a Load Oversize in Florida?
Florida DOT requires a permit for any load that exceeds the legal limits below. The driver must carry the permit in the cab during the haul. A load can be within legal weight but still require a permit for width or height. Both are evaluated independently.
| Dimension | Legal Without Permit |
|---|---|
| Width | Up to 8 ft 6 in |
| Height | Up to 13 ft 6 in |
| Length | Up to 65 ft (combo) |
| Gross Weight | Up to 80,000 lbs |
Fine note: Moving without a permit in Florida carries fines up to $1,000 per size violation and $0.05 per pound for every pound over the weight limit.

The Permit Process
How the FDOT Oversize Permit Process Works
Florida DOT issues four types of oversize permits. A single-trip permit covers one haul from one address to one destination and is valid for ten days. An annual blanket permit covers repeated moves of the same load type within set dimension ranges. Route-specific permits apply to defined corridors. Superload permits cover loads that exceed routine permit limits and require direct FDOT review rather than self-issuance.
Loads up to 16 feet wide, 18 feet tall, 150 feet long, and 200,000 pounds can be self-issued through FDOT's online permit system. Loads beyond those thresholds require direct review from the permit office and additional lead time.
Big Frog Transportation files the permit as part of every oversize haul it runs. The permit lists the pickup address, delivery address, route, and exact load dimensions. The driver carries it in the cab. The truck does not move without it. For a full breakdown of Florida permit rules see the Florida DOT oversize permit guide.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions contractors and shippers ask most often about oversize load transport in Florida.
What size load requires a permit in Florida?
Any load wider than 8 feet 6 inches, taller than 13 feet 6 inches, longer than 65 feet overall, or heavier than 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight requires a permit from FDOT. Size and weight are evaluated independently — a load can be within legal weight limits and still require a permit for width or height.
How long does it take to get an oversize permit in Florida?
Loads within routine permit limits can be self-issued through FDOT's online system in minutes. Larger or more complex loads require permit office review and can take several business days. Superloads requiring engineering review take longer. Big Frog Transportation starts the permit process as soon as the haul is confirmed.
Do oversize loads need pilot cars in Florida?
It depends on the dimensions. Loads over 12 feet wide typically require at least one pilot car. Loads over 14 feet wide or longer than 95 feet require pilot cars front and rear at the same time. Pilot cars in Florida must be certified through the state's escort qualification program. Big Frog Transportation arranges pilot cars when they are required by the permit.
Can you haul oversize loads on weekends in Florida?
Saturday travel is allowed up to noon for loads under 14 feet wide and under 13 feet 6 inches tall. Sunday travel is not permitted for oversize loads. No oversize movement is allowed on major holidays. Big Frog Transportation plans routes and schedules around these rules before the truck rolls.
What is a superload in Florida?
Florida defines a superload as any load over 14 feet wide, 16 feet tall, or over 200,000 pounds gross weight. Superloads require a detailed route survey, often an engineering review, and direct FDOT approval rather than self-issuance. Big Frog Transportation does not regularly run superloads — most equipment moves fall into the standard oversize range.
