A super load is a vehicle transporting a nondivisible load that exceeds 150,000 pounds gross weight or a vehicle transporting a nondivisible load in which any group or groups of axles exceed maximum permitted axle weights.
Super load moves must have a valid permit that includes a bridge analysis, completed by the Department of Transportation prior to traveling on any highway.
Super load permits are issued only for single trip movements and cost $50.
On highways consisting of four lanes or more, a rear escort is required. Before escorting super loads within Kansas, escorting companies must obtain certification; contact Kansas Department of Transportation or visit http://www.truckingks.org/permit_licensing.html for how to become certified.
