All oversize loads entering the City of Oakley must conform to the requirements set by the Utah Department of Transportation.

In general, any vehicle over 10 feet in width, 13.5 feet in height, and within the Class 2 or heavier weight classification should obtain an oversize load permit from the Oakley Public Works Department.

Additionally, all loads exceeding 12 feet in length must travel on designated truck routes to avoid disruptions to residential neighborhoods.

In Oakley, escort vehicles are required for any load exceeding 12 feet in length or weighing more than 40 tons. Police escorts are available upon request and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

Local police departments may also require a dedicated flagman to accompany oversize loads during peak traffic hours (7-9 am and 4-6 pm, Monday-Friday).
