Oversize/ Overweight Permit Manual New York Foreword The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association is pleased to publish this Oversize/ Overweight Permit Manual. Each state analysis includes information in a standardized format: contact, legal limits, special permit limits, general restrictions, types of permits available, fees, escort needs, fines, and restricted travel areas. Telephone numbers, locations, and hours of operation are listed for ports of entry and permit branches. However, readers are always advised to check with the state offices on current laws and procedures. This project could not have been completed without the advice and consultation of many state officials. We thank all of those who provided permit manuals, maps, laws, regulations, and various other forms of documentation. Legal Notice This SC&RA Oversize/Overweight Permit Manual is intended only to provide concise, easily read information, useful in planning movements of overdimensional and overweight loads. This Permit Manual is not intended to be an accurate summary of all the applicable laws and regulations. Users of the Permit Manual should confirm the information contained herein before dispatching vehicles and loads. The SC&RA cautions Permit Manual users that state laws and regulations are subject to change without notice, and that some time elapses between the effective date of such changes and the amendment of the Permit Manual to reflect those changes. The SC&RA assumes no responsibility for accident, injury, loss or claim, penalties or any other damage resulting from reliance on the contents of this Permit Manual.

For copies, call 1-888-783-1685 Route Surveys: Effective January 1, 2009, only New York State Certified Escorts can perform route surveys. Reasons for this requirement include: 1) Certified Escorts will have a better understanding of the Department’s requirements for oversize moves. 2) Certified Escorts will have the necessary equipment to perform these surveys properly. One example of this is having a height pole, which is needed to perform an over-height route survey. 3) Requiring a Certified Escort to perform route surveys will allow the Department to track the number of inaccurate route surveys done by a particular individual, and if necessary, take action against a poor performer. These actions can range from fines to the loss of escort and route survey privileges. The route survey form has been modified to include the route surveyor’s NYS Certified Escort number and their driver’s license number.
