All oversize loads entering the City of White Hall, located in Marion County, must conform to the requirements set by the West Virginia Department of Transportation.

In general, any vehicle over 12 feet in width, 14 feet 6 inches in height, and weighing over 80,000 pounds should obtain an oversize load permit from the White Hall Public Works Department.

The City of White Hall adheres to the West Virginia Code §17C-17-1 et seq. and §17C-6-1 et seq., which require permits for loads that surpass the standard dimensions to ensure public safety and minimize infrastructure wear.

In White Hall, escort vehicles are mandatory for oversize loads wider than 16 feet or taller than 18 feet, especially on major highways.

Local police escort may be necessary for oversized loads traveling through congested zones or major intersections, such as the US-250 and I-79 interchange. Scheduling with the local authorities is necessary and may involve coordination with the Marion County Sheriff's Department.

To obtain a permit in White Hall, applicants should visit the City's website or directly reach out to the Public Works Department at (304) 366-2222.

Required documentation includes detailed load dimensions, proposed travel dates, and a map of the intended path through the city, ensuring compliance with White Hall's municipal code.

Oversize loads are not permitted on city streets during peak traffic times (7-9 am and 4-6 pm) to minimize congestion, especially around schools and major commercial areas like the White Hall Business Park.

Seasonal restrictions apply during heavy snowfall or flooding events, necessitating checks with the Public Works Department for the most up-to-date road conditions.

The base permit fee is $50. Complex routes or those requiring police escort incur extra fees, ranging from $100 to $500 based on the specifics of the move.

Additional charges apply for after-hours processing or last-minute scheduling, and these fees are payable to the City of White Hall upon permit issuance.
