If you are moving oversize or overweight loads in Maine, you need the right permits to stay legal. Maine Oversize Permits are required whenever your vehicle or load exceeds certain size or weight limits. At Overweight Permit, we help you get all the permits you need quickly and easily, so you can focus on your delivery.

What Are Maine Oversize Permits?

These permits allow trucks to carry loads that are wider, taller, longer, or heavier than Maine legal limits. You must get a permit before entering Maine, and it is good for seven days. Without the permit, your load cannot travel through the state.
