What Are Arizona Oversize Permits?
Arizona Oversize Permits are mandatory for vehicles or loads that exceed the state legal dimensions. These permits are valid for four days and can be purchased at most Ports of Entry. They ensure that your transport complies with Arizona oversize regulations, avoiding costly fines and delays.
Legal dimensions in Arizona include:
Length: 57′ trailer on Interstate; 65′ overall on non-designated roads
Width: 8′-6″
Height: 14′
Weight: 80,000 lbs gross (Single – 20,000; Tandem – 34,000; Tridem – 42,000)
If your load exceeds these limits, you’ll need one of the following permit types:
