What Are Georgia Oversize Permits?
Georgia Oversize Permits are required when your load exceeds the state’s legal size or weight limits. These permits allow you to transport large items safely and legally on Georgia’s roads. Without these permits, you could face fines and delays.
Why Do You Need a Permit?
Permits are important for several reasons:
Safety: They help ensure that oversized loads are transported safely, protecting other drivers on the road.
- Compliance: Having the right permits keeps you in line with state laws.
- Avoiding Delays: Proper permits help you avoid fines and delays during your trip.
