Questions
How do I estimate the cost of an oversize or overweight permit?
Add your pickup, any stops and the delivery, then enter the load's length, width and height in feet and inches, plus overhangs, gross weight in pounds and axles. Permitly maps the route, finds every state it crosses and adds up the estimated state permit fees, escort requirements and the permit service fee.
Which states does Permitly cover?
All 48 lower states plus Alaska. Each state uses its own legal limits, oversize and overweight fee rules, and pilot car and police escort thresholds.
Are the permit fees exact?
They are estimates based on each state's published fee schedules. Final fees are set by the state when the permit is issued, and routing changes can change them.
Does it work for superloads and annual permits?
Yes. Choose Superload as the load type, or switch the permit duration to Annual. Loads over superload thresholds are flagged automatically, so you can see where extra escorts are needed.
Can I save and share a quote?
Yes. Create a free account, save any calculation as a named quote and open it later on the website or the Android app. Every quote can be exported as a PDF with your company details.
