Moving an oversize load means more than finding a truck. The route has to be permitted, escorts may be required, and the load has to be secured for its size and weight. Escorcia Corporation takes care of all of it from our San Antonio dispatch, so you have one number to call.

Questions
Oversize FAQ
When is a load oversize in Texas?
In Texas, a load generally needs a permit when it is wider than 8 ft 6 in, taller than 14 ft, longer than the legal length, or heavier than legal weight limits. Send us the dimensions and we'll tell you what it needs.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. We order the state permits for the route and plan around the restrictions that come with them, like travel times and approved roads.
Do you arrange pilot cars?
Yes. When the size of the load or the route calls for escorts, we coordinate the pilot cars so they're there at pickup.
How much notice do you need?
The more the better, because permits and escorts take time to line up. Call dispatch as soon as you know the dimensions and dates.
