⚠ This is reference data. State regulations change — verify with the permit office before dispatching any load. TM Trailer Sales assumes no liability for fines or citations.

About this data

Our dataset is sourced from the SC&RA Oversize/Overweight Permit Manual and cross-checked against state DOT websites. We publish the verification date on every result. Rules change — we recommend confirming with the state permit office before dispatching any load that exceeds legal limits.

We're launching with Georgia (SC&RA 02/2026 data) and adding states as fast as we can verify them. If you run a specific corridor and want it prioritized, let us know.

Why does this exist?

Because our customers get tickets when they pass a scale house with outdated permit assumptions. Every state does this a little differently — widths, heights, weight-per-axle caps, escort triggers, holiday bans, rush-hour windows, superload thresholds. This tool turns all of that into one structured answer.
