Oversize & Overweight State Permit Calculator

Add the states your load crosses and the miles inside each one, and get the single-trip OS/OW permit fee each state charges — every line traced to the statute or fee schedule it came from.

This prices state permit fees. It is not a freight quote.

STATE PERMIT FEES ONLY: no line haul, no fuel, no margin. It also excludes the cost of any pilot car a state requires — we hold no pilot-car rates, so enter your own and we apply it as a separate figure, never inside the permit total. On a long lane one escort can cost more than every permit below combined.

The load

Gross weight is what every state prices the overweight permit from. Width, height and overall length decide the oversize fee band and the escort rules — leave one blank and the states that need it will say so instead of guessing.

Road type

Escort rules are written per road class. Pick the class most of the move runs on. States that classify their own highways (Kentucky, Tennessee, California, Colorado) will leave those rules unresolved and say so in their notes rather than assume an answer.

Your pilot-car rate (optional)

We hold no pilot-car rates and will not invent one — no state publishes a rate, and your negotiated figure beats any range we could make up. Enter YOUR rate and we apply it to the escort counts each state’s own rules require, as a separate line. It is never added to the permit total. A day rate needs a day count: a rate without one is not a price, and one day is not a safe default. Leave this blank and the escorts come back as a count with the cost stated as unknown, which is the true answer.

Blank is a valid answer. Police-escort rates are different — six states publish one, and those are cited for you either way.

States and miles inside each

These are YOUR miles, not ours. We do not route the lane. Type the per-state mileage your PC*Miler or ProMiles run produced — the same figures that go on the permit application, which is why they are the miles the state will bill. Tennessee charges 6¢ per ton-mile, so fifty miles out on one leg is real money.

Covered states — the engine holds a cited fee schedule for these 31:

Any other state can still be added. It will come back named and unpriced, never as $0.

Fill in the load and at least one state, then press Calculate permits. Nothing is stored and no account is needed.

  • 120,000 lb · 12'6" wide · 14'6" high · 85 ft · 8 axles, interstate.
  • Seven states — TX, AR, TN, KY, OH, PA, NY — with the miles inside each.
  • Fills the form and prices it, so you can see the output before typing anything.

What comes back

Every fee line is resolved from a statute or a published fee schedule as of today’s date, and each state’s sources are listed with their revision dates. Where two official sources disagree by more than the immaterial threshold, the state is flagged for manual review instead of a figure being picked; where they disagree by less, the higher figure is quoted and the disagreement is shown.

  • One table with every state on the lane — oversize, overweight, base and fees, escorts, subtotal and status, with a totals row.
  • The statute behind each line, effective-dated, per state.
  • Named gaps. A state we hold no schedule for comes back named and unpriced, never as $0, and the lane total refuses rather than quietly excluding it.
  • Escort counts each state requires — priced from your own pilot-car rate if you give one, and never added to the permit total.
What this total never includes (5)
  • Line haul, fuel and margin. This is a permit-fee calculator, not a freight rate. Nothing here prices moving the load.
  • Pilot car / escort cost. No escort money is ever inside the permit total. We hold no pilot-car rates of our own and will not invent one — enter YOUR pilot-car rate on this page and we apply it to the escort counts each state requires, as its own separate figure. On a long lane one escort can cost more than every permit on this page combined.
  • Police escorts, route surveys and bridge analysis. Several states impose these at the permitting office’s discretion with no published price.
  • Permits from a second issuing authority. A toll, bridge or city authority can require its own permit inside a state we do price. Where we know of one, the state’s notes name it.
  • Superload pricing. Above a state’s superload threshold there is no published fee — the agency prices it after an engineering review.
