In general, any vehicle over 11 feet in width, 15 feet 0 inches in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 235,710 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the PADOT and potentially additional permits from LOGDOT.

To navigate the complexities of Logan's infrastructure, it's crucial to plan routes that avoid sensitive areas like Logan Stadium and major construction zones along the Logan Civic Center area.
