The Secretary, acting under guidelines and advice of the Commissioner, may issue permits to move non-divisible vehicles and/or loads which exceed the legal length, width, height, or weight limits established in Title 29-A, Chapter 21, over roads, highways and bridges maintained by the Maine Department of Transportation.

The Secretary, through joint action with the New England Transportation Consortium, may also issue permits to move non-divisible overlimit vehicles and/or loads which fall within length, height, width, and weight limits as outlined in this rule over specific, designated routes within the five consortium states.

An overlimit permit is required to transport a non-divisible overdimensional and/or overweight vehicle and/or load upon public highways, using certain routes, from a single origin to a single destination. This rule establishes the requirements, standards, and administrative procedures for issuing overlimit permits as well as the requirements and standards for pilot and police escorts.
