All oversize loads entering the City of Shelley must conform to the requirements set by the Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) Oversize/Overweight Permit Office.

In general, any vehicle over 14 feet in width, 15 feet in height, and within the C-3 weight class should obtain an oversize load permit from the Shelley Public Works Department.

Additionally, all oversized loads must travel on designated truck routes and avoid residential areas to minimize disruptions.

The Shelley Police Department requires an escort vehicle when oversized loads exceed 12 feet in width, 13.5 feet in height, or weigh more than [40,000] pounds.

All escort vehicles must be equipped with flashing lights and sirens. The police department recommends scheduling escorts at least [24 hours] in advance to ensure availability.

To apply for an oversize load permit, companies must submit a completed application form and required documentation (including insurance information) to the Shelley Public Works Department. Applications can be downloaded from the City's website or picked up in person.

Permit applications typically take [3-5 business days] to process once all required documents are received.

The City of Shelley restricts oversized loads from traveling between [6:00 AM] and [9:00 PM] on weekdays, and between [8:00 AM] and [10:00 PM] on weekends.

During winter months (December to March), oversized loads must travel at a reduced speed due to road maintenance restrictions. Permits will be issued with specific route instructions during this time.

Oversized loads are prohibited from entering the Shelley Historic District, which is marked by signs and restricted access points.

The standard permit fee for oversized loads in Shelley is [$150], with an additional [5%] fee for any changes to the approved route or schedule.

Fees may vary depending on load size, weight, and distance traveled. Companies should consult with the Shelley Public Works Department for a detailed breakdown of fees.
