All oversize loads entering the City of Roseboro in Sampson County must conform to the requirements set by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the Roseboro Public Works Department.

In general, any vehicle exceeding 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, or with a weight exceeding 80,000 lbs (Class V and above) should obtain an oversize load permit from the Roseboro Public Works Department.

Roseboro requires that all permitted routes avoid crossing the South River Bridge on Highway 24, if possible, due to weight restrictions. Alternate routes must be pre-approved.

Escort vehicles are required in Roseboro when the load exceeds 12 feet in width or 14 feet 6 inches in height. Front and rear escorts are mandatory for loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 16 feet in height.

Local police escorts are typically not required within the city limits of Roseboro unless specifically mandated by the Public Works Department due to unusual circumstances. If required, the applicant will be responsible for coordinating with the Sampson County Sheriff's Office, and fees will be determined by their rate schedule. Expect a minimum of 72 hours' notice for police escort requests.
