Please read each permit carefully. You are responsible for the permits accuracy and for having all required permit provisions or attachments. Except where noted, all information in this permit book is for non-divisible loads, or loads not creating extra dimensions.
Containers:
According to Federal regulations, no rear overhang is allowed on a loaded container. It must be fully supported by the trailer. For an empty container, the rear overhang limit is 5 feet, but it should be verified with each state to make sure they follow the same guideline if you have an empty container with rear overhang.

In some states, you must be licensed for more than 80,000 pounds to carry an overweight permit load.

Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana (if MT plated), New York
