A super load is any load that exceeds 16 feet wide, 16 feet high, 125 feet long, or 130,000 pounds.
Vehicle configurations with axle spacing and weights must be submitted to the Maine Department of Transportation.
Loads over 167,000 pounds require special approval. In addition, any vehicle hauling loads that exceed the legal weight (80,000 pounds) must be registered for at least 100,000 pounds on its apportioned registration.
Maine Department of Transportation engineers will check bridges on routes to be requested by applicant to determine if routes are capable of handling the load, if not they will reroute. Permittees will be charged for the engineering fees.
Allow up to three days for approval.
