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

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 14.5 feet in height, and within the Class 3 weight category should obtain an oversize load permit from the Truman Public Works Department.

Additionally, loads exceeding 10,000 pounds must be secured to prevent loose debris or cargo from falling onto city streets.

In Truman, escort vehicles are required for loads exceeding 14 feet in width or 16 feet in height. Local police departments will provide escorts during peak traffic hours (7am-9am and 4pm-6pm) for an additional fee.

For oversized loads requiring a longer route, the City of Truman recommends using a professional escort service to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
