Who Issues Oversize Permits in Every State & Province
Rendered from our verified jurisdiction records · Last reviewed September 2026
Permits do not always come from the DOT: state police issue them in several states, Indiana routes them through its Department of Revenue, Saskatchewan fronts its ministry with an insurance corporation, and Maine uses the motor vehicle bureau. Here is who actually answers, and on which system, in every jurisdiction we have verified.

Limits, escort bands, fees, and seasonal restrictions change regularly; before relying on any figure, verify it with the jurisdiction's transportation department or permit office, or a licensed permit service. When you book with LoadLoom, our dispatch desk and your assigned carrier confirm the current rules for your exact load and route; that confirmation, not this page, governs your shipment. Spot an error? Email customercare@loadloom.com with the jurisdiction and the official source, and our desk will verify and update.
