Permit Routing
A permit doesn't just authorize a load — it authorizes a specific route. Running a different road than the one the permit approved is itself a violation, even if the load is otherwise fully compliant.
We build the route around what each state's permits actually allow — approved roads, time-of-day restrictions, holiday blackout dates — instead of routing first and permitting second.
The route the driver actually runs matches the route the permit was issued for, which is the difference between a clean trip and a citation.
- 01Confirm the roads and routes each state's permit authorizes.
- 02Cross-check running-hour and holiday restrictions along the path.
- 03Finalize a single route consistent with every state's permit conditions.
- 04Provide the driver with the confirmed route and any permit copies required.
Curfews and holiday restrictions are real and routinely enforced
Most states with oversize/overweight programs restrict travel during set holiday windows — July 4th and Thanksgiving are common examples — and impose daily curfews commonly defined as running from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. Some states add their own layers on top, like county-level peak-hour or escort-timing rules. These restrictions are a standard, actively enforced part of state DOT oversize regulation, not an occasional exception.
Why routing has to follow the permit, not the other way around
Planning a route first and then applying for a permit to match it backwards is a common mistake — the permit is what actually defines the legal path, including any detours around restricted bridges or roads. Building the route from the permit's approved path outward is what keeps the driver's actual trip compliant.
