Why Georgia Oversize Permits Matter
Georgia oversize permits are required for any trucking enterprise that transports cargo larger than the usual legal dimensions. These permits are good for ten days, giving you flexibility in timing your delivery.
Important Regulations to Know
When arranging your transportation, it is critical to understand the operating guidelines.
Operating Hours: You may run your vehicle from half an hour after sunrise to half an hour before dusk, seven days a week. If your cargo is less than 125,000 lbs, you may request continuous travel while applying for a permit.
Travel Restrictions: No travel is permitted on Sundays. In addition, travel in Atlanta is restricted during peak hours specifically, 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Major holidays are also restricted for permit travel.
Understanding Legal Dimensions
When submitting for a Georgia overweight permit application, it is critical to understand the legal restrictions.
Length: A 48' to 53' trailer can be up to 75 feet long (including the overhang).
Width: The maximum width is 8′-6″ (certain non-designated routes may allow 8′).
Height: The height restriction is established at 13′-6″.
Weight limits: The gross weight limit is normally 80,000 lbs, however permits allow for larger weights depending on axle configurations.

Loads that exceed these dimensions or weights will require a Super Load permit.
Escort Requirements:
