How Do Custom Heavy Hauling Permits Work in Virginia?

Virginia requires a state-issued hauling permit for any load exceeding 80,000 lbs GVW, 8'6" in width, 13'6" in height, or 48 feet in semi-trailer length. Overweight and oversized loads must have a permit before traveling Virginia's highway system. Duffield Hauling manages permit coordination as part of every job, including route planning for Richmond-area corridors.


Richmond-Area Route Compliance

Heavy haul moves in the Richmond, VA, region often use I-95, I-64, Route 1, and connector roads through Henrico and Chesterfield counties. Virginia prohibits oversized load travel through populated city corridors from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., which requires careful scheduling. Loads wider than 12 feet on non-interstate routes typically require front and rear escort vehicles. Duffield Hauling plans each move around these requirements to keep your project compliant and on schedule.
