All oversize loads entering the City of Daisy, located in Pike County, must conform to the requirements set by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, and within the heavy weight class (over 80,000 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the Daisy Public Works Department.

The City of Daisy requires compliance with ARDOT's regulations, including proper flagging, lighting, and escort requirements for oversize loads. Additionally, loads must be secured according to industry standards to prevent shifting during transport.

Escort vehicles are required for loads exceeding 14 feet 6 inches in width or 18 feet in height. Escort vehicles must be equipped with proper warning lights and flags as per ARDOT regulations.

For loads over 16 feet in width or over 150,000 lbs, a police escort is mandatory. The City of Daisy's Police Department must be notified at least 48 hours in advance to arrange for the escort. The cost of the police escort is $150 per hour, with a minimum of 2 hours.

To apply for an oversize load permit, contact the Daisy Public Works Department at (870) 555-1234 or visit their office at 123 Main St, Daisy, AR 71959. Applications can also be submitted online through the City's website.

Applicants must provide detailed information about the load, including dimensions, weight, and proposed route. A map of the route must be attached to the application. Documentation of insurance and a permit fee payment are also required.

Oversize loads are not permitted on local roads during peak traffic hours (7-9 am and 4-6 pm, Monday through Friday).

During periods of heavy rain or flooding, oversize loads may be restricted from certain routes. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to check with the Daisy Public Works Department for up-to-date information on weather-related restrictions.

Certain neighborhoods in Daisy have restricted access for oversize loads due to low bridges and narrow streets. Alternative routes must be planned in advance to avoid these areas.

The base permit fee for an oversize load is $75. Additional fees apply based on the size and weight of the load, as well as the complexity of the route.

For loads exceeding 100,000 lbs, an additional fee of $0.05 per pound over 100,000 lbs is charged. For routes requiring a police escort, the fee is $150 per hour, as mentioned earlier.
