What Are Indiana
Oversize Permits?
Indiana oversize permits are required for trucks with
loads that are bigger or heavier than usual. These permits last for fifteen
days, giving you enough time to finish your route. Trucks up to 110 feet long,
10 feet wide, and 13 feet 6 inches tall, weighing under 200,000 pounds, can
travel all day, every day. Bigger trucks have some limits on when they can
drive usually only during daylight hours or weekdays. There’s no travel allowed
on big holidays or holiday weekends.

Limits in Indiana
Here are the normal size rules without a permit:

With oversize permits, you can go up to:
