Oversize Load Planning: How Synchron Permits Prevents Route Failures Before They Happen

Oversize Load Plan

When it comes to oversize or overweight load permits, the biggest mistake isn’t bad paperwork—it’s bad planning.

At Synchron Permits, planning is everything. Whether you’re pulling a 12-wide load through three states or managing a superload that requires multiple escorts and curfews, one routing error can shut everything down.

That’s why Synchron doesn’t just issue permits—they engineer your route with compliance in mind.

Superload Strategy: Testing the Route Before the Permit

Superloads are one of the most complex challenges in heavy haul logistics. With strict regulations, bridge reviews, and curfew rules that vary by state, you can’t afford guesswork.

Synchron Permits uses a proactive route discovery approach. Before purchasing any permits, we test multiple route options to ensure:

  • Bridge and height restrictions are accounted for

  • Construction zones are avoided

  • The load is legally routable through all required jurisdictions

This process minimizes the risk of:

  • Trucks being denied entry mid-trip

  • Unexpected construction or bridge limits

  • Wasted permit fees on unapproved routing

If a restriction pops up after a permit is issued? Synchron handles the amendment and revision process with the state to keep the driver moving.
