If you are transporting oversize or overweight loads in New Mexico, you must have the right New Mexico Oversize Permits. These permits let you drive loads larger or heavier than usual, safely and legally.

When Do You Need a New Mexico Permit?

You need an oversize permit if your load is:

Wider than 8 feet 6 inches

Taller than 14 feet

Longer than 57 feet 6 inches on highways (65 feet on other roads)

Heavier than 80,000 pounds

These permits last five days and can be bought online or at Ports of Entry if your load doesn’t require special checks.

Rules for Driving Times in New Mexico

You can drive oversize loads from half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset, Monday through Saturday. If your load is overweight but not too wide or tall, you might drive continuously.

Some cities like Albuquerque and Santa Fe restrict movement during rush hours. Also, you can’t drive in bad weather or on holidays.

Safety and Escorts for New Mexico Oversize Permits

Loads wider than 12 feet or longer than 90 feet may need escort vehicles. Signs reading “Oversize Load” must be on the front and back of your truck. Red flags go on the load’s corners to warn other drivers.
