Texas Heavy Haul Trucking FAQs
What kind of permits will I need to transport oversize cargo through Houston?
Oversize loads are freight that weighs more than the legal criteria within a state. This includes the height, length, and width of a load. Moving heavy and oversize equipment requires specialized trailers, equipment, and possibly escort vehicles. You’ll also need specific permits issued by the state of Texas, and additional regulations will vary locally.
Texas also has specific times of the day when an oversize load can be operated, starting at half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset. A legal rear and front overhang can travel at night, but only on the interstates.
When you work with Titan for your heavy equipment transport services, our truck drivers will take care of all the permitting needs required to ship your load through Texas, as well as any other states. That means no delays, no fines, and no hassle for our clients!
How much does it cost to ship oversize loads in Houston, TX?
Many factors affect the transport costs of over-dimensional loads, including:
- Load size
- Type of goods
- Mileage and designated routes
- Pick up and destination location
- Time of year and trucking demand
- Number and type of permits required
- Escort requirements

What’s considered an oversize load in Houston, TX?
The standard legal length of a semi-trailer in Texas is 59 feet, with a maximum weight not to exceed 80,000 pounds. Loads exceeding these dimensions are considered oversize and require a permit. Long loads that exceed 125 feet will require a super load permit. Routes for super loads must be planned in cooperation with the state’s Department of Transportation.
Oversize load permits in Texas last for three to five days. Permits need to be applied for and received before traveling through the state. Our experienced team will handle all of the work to obtain any special permits and coordinate the best route with the state!
