ROUTING, PERMITS AND ESCORTS
Step 5: Think Beyond the Pickup and Delivery Addresses For oversized and heavy freight, the shortest route is not always the appropriate route. Transportation planning may need to consider: Requirements can vary by shipment, equipment, route and jurisdiction. • Bridge restrictions • Bridge weight limitations • Overpasses
• Construction zones • Turning radius • Road geometry • Local restrictions • Permit requirements
• State or provincial requirements • Travel-hour restrictions • Weather • Escort requirements
• Height clearances • Road restrictions

DON’T ASSUME
A permit or route used for a previous shipment does not necessarily mean the same requirements will apply to the next shipment. Changes
in freight dimensions, weight, equipment, origin, destination or regulations can change the transportation plan.
