When Do You Need an Oversize Permit in Florida?

April 26, 2026, 7:12 p.m.
You need an oversize permit in Florida any time your vehicle or load exceeds the state’s legal size or weight limits. This applies whether you’re hauling equipment, construction materials, or any non-divisible load on public roads.

You must obtain a permit from the www.floridatruckingonline.com  if your truck, trailer, or load exceeds any of these legal limits:

 Size Limits (Most Common Triggers)

  • Width: Over 8 ft 6 in (102 inches)
  • Height: Over 13 ft 6 in (14 ft for auto transporters)
  • Length:
    • Single vehicle over 40 ft
    • Semi-trailer over 48 ft
    • Truck + trailer combination over 68 ft
  • Overhang: Front over 3 ft or excessive rear overhang

 If you exceed even one of these, a permit is required.
