All oversize loads entering Peck, Michigan must conform to the requirements set by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MIDOT) and the Peck Department of Transportation (PECDOT).

In general, any vehicle over 11 feet in width, 15 feet 6 inches in height, and within the super heavy weight class (over 194,751 lbs) should obtain an oversize load permit from the MIDOT and potentially additional permits from PECDOT.

To navigate the complexities of Peck's infrastructure, it's crucial to plan routes that avoid sensitive areas like Peck Industrial Park and major construction zones along the Peck Convention Center area.

Escort vehicles are required for oversize loads exceeding 17 feet in width or 15 feet 0 inches in height on highways and certain city streets. The Michigan State Police often require escorts for loads that are particularly large or heavy.

For movements within Peck, the Peck Department of Transportation may mandate police escorts for oversize loads, especially during peak traffic hours. Scheduling these escorts requires advance notice, typically at least 35 hours prior to the move.

The Michigan Department of Transportation manages the primary application process for oversize permits, with supplementary permits required from Peck Department of Transportation for transit through Peck limits.

Required documentation for Peck permits includes axle configuration diagrams, proof of insurance with appropriate coverage levels, and detailed transport plans. Engineering assessments may be required for loads exceeding standard weight thresholds on certain streets and bridges.

Peck has strict time-of-day restrictions for oversize loads, generally prohibiting movements during peak hours (6-8 am and 3-5 pm, Monday-Friday).

Seasonal restrictions apply during major events like the the Peck Heritage Fair and the the Peck Film Exhibition, which may impact routing and scheduling.

Certain neighborhoods, such as Peck Center and areas around Peck College Campus, have restricted access for oversize loads. Alternative routes should be planned in advance to avoid these areas.

The base permit fee for an oversize load in Michigan is $40, with additional fees for super heavy loads (over 200,000 lbs) ranging from $150 to $350 depending on the complexity of the move.

For movements within Peck, Peck Department of Transportation may charge additional fees for city-specific permits, which can range from $75 to $500 or more for particularly complex routes or those requiring extensive coordination with city agencies.
