Trucking operations in Oregon have specific time constraints:

Permitted loads can operate half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset, seven days a week.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, travel restrictions apply, particularly on Saturdays until noon and no Sunday travel.

Night travel is permissible for loads up to 10 feet wide on "green" routes and 12 feet wide on Interstates.

Additionally, in urban areas like Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford, oversized loads exceeding 12 feet must respect to curfew restrictions during peak hours (7:00-9:00 AM and 3:00-6:00 PM).

Oregon Escort Requirements for Oversized Loads

To ensure safety, oversized loads may require pilot escorts:

Interstate Highways: Loads over 120’ require one escort, while over 140’ mandates additional escorts as per permit requirements.

Two-lane Routes: Escort needs increase with load size, requiring one to two pilot escorts for loads exceeding 105’.

Urban Areas & Special Routes: Certain conditions may necessitate additional escort vehicles.

Compliance & Safety Measures

Oregon mandates specific signage and safety precautions for oversized trucking:
