The short version: a Illinois single-trip permit starts at $0 before bands, overweight and the transaction charge; an escort is first required at over 14'6" wide; and the load becomes a superload at a gross weight the state does not publish. Everything below carries the Illinois document it came from, that document's own revision date, and the date we read it.
1. Where the load goes next
The jurisdictions this one borders, each chip carrying the fact that decides whether that crossing is the expensive one — so the row is itself a small comparison. A multi-state lane is the actual job, and from here it is one click per state rather than a return to an alphabetical index.
2. Illinois legal limits
Anything over one of these needs a permit. Every value links to the document that sets it.
| Measure | Legal limit |
|---|---|
| Width | 8'6"rev. · read §15-102: "On Class III and non-designated State and local highways, the total outside width of any vehicle or load thereon shall not exceed 8 feet 6 inches." Subsection (e) allows the same 8 ft 6 in on Class I, Class II and locally designated highways, so the figure is uniform across highway classes. |
| Height | 13'6"rev. · read §15-103: "The height of a vehicle from the under side of the tire to the top of the vehicle, inclusive of load, shall not exceed 13 feet, 6 inches on any highway in the State." |
| Semitrailer length | 53'rev. · read §15-107: "The length of a semitrailer, unladen or with load, in combination with a truck tractor may not exceed 53 feet." A kingpin-to-rear-axle limit also applies — 45 ft 6 in on Class I and Class II highways, 42 ft 6 in on non-designated highways, for a semitrailer longer than 48 ft — and is not modelled, because a quote does not collect the kingpin distance. |
| Overall length | 65'rev. · read §15-107: "On non-designated highways ... A truck tractor in combination with a semitrailer may not exceed 65 feet overall dimension." On Class I and Class II highways "there are no overall length limitations on motor vehicles operating in combinations" provided the 53 ft semitrailer and kingpin limits are met, so a combination over 65 ft may be entirely legal on the designated network and the permit requirement here should be confirmed against the actual route. |
| Kingpin to rear axle | None published |
| Front overhang | 3'rev. · read 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554: "Permits are required ... for loads on a single vehicle or on the first vehicle of a combination that protrude 3 feet beyond the front bumper." Illinois publishes no separate front- or rear-overhang ESCORT threshold — its escort triggers are stated in overall width, height and length. |
| Rear overhang | None published |
| Gross weight | 80,000 lbrev. · read §15-111: "80,000 pounds gross weight for vehicle combinations of 5 or more axles", subject also to the federal bridge formula W = 500 x ((LN / (N-1)) + 12N + 36). Axle count, axle spacing and posted restrictions can each produce a lower legal weight. |
| Single axle | 20,000 lbrev. · read §15-111: "20,000 pounds on a single axle" |
| Tandem axle | 34,000 lbrev. · read §15-111: "34,000 pounds on a tandem axle with no axle within the tandem exceeding 20,000 pounds." |
3. The Illinois escort ladder
Not one number per dimension — the whole staircase. Each row is a condition the state actually publishes, what it requires when that condition holds, and the clause it comes from. Where a rule requires escorts and the source states no number, the row says that in the source's own words rather than reporting no requirement.
| When | What is required | Source |

| width over 16' or height over 18' or overall length over 145' | 3 certified escortsAdvisory: Illinois requires three civilian escorts over 16 ft wide, over 18 ft high or over 145 ft long (IDOT OPER 993, revised 7 August 2024). For a load over 18 ft high the adopted administrative rule, 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554.611 (2012), still says TWO civilian escorts. Three is quoted because it is the newer and stricter published requirement, but the disagreement is unresolved and the escort count should be confirmed with the IDOT permit office. Illinois also does not publish where the third escort rides. |

| width over 18' or overall length over 200' or height over 18' | Escorts required; the source states no number. Published as: “Illinois State Police escort required at the published dimensional triggers; officer count is not published.”Cannot be reduced to a number: Illinois requires a State Police escort over 18 ft wide, over 200 ft long or over 18 ft high. 625 ILCS 5/15-312 (effective 16 June 2026) charges $40 per hour per vehicle to IDOT with an $80 minimum per vehicle, plus $125 per hour per vehicle to the Illinois State Police with a $500 minimum per vehicle, counting from pickup to completion including delays, with any fraction of an hour rounded up. 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554.911(a) separately charges permit-office processing of $80 per State Police District crossed ($160 for the Chicago District); subsection (b) adds the ISP hourly fee. This is an additional processing component, not an alternative hourly tariff. The assigned vehicle count, duty hours and district itinerary are required for the full charge; escort charges are separate from the permit total. |

4. Illinois single-trip permit fees
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Single-trip base | $0rev. · read 15-305 prints one amount per category per mileage step and no separate issuance charge. Two optional charges exist and are not included, because neither applies to an ordinary single-trip application: $1.00 "when special transmission of permits by electronic communications equipment is requested", and $5 for each supplemental special permit under 15-313. |
| Transaction / card | 2.25% of the totalrev. · read IDOT: "Credit or Debit card convenience fee is 2.25% of the total amount due (minimum of $1.00)." The $1.00 minimum is NOT applied here — the type has no floor — so a small permit understates this charge slightly. UNKNOWN and recorded rather than assumed: the exact rounding of the percentage, and whether every ancillary charge (police, engineering, supplemental) enters the "total amount due" base. Paying by E-Check instead costs $0.75 per transaction with no percentage. The fee is JetPay's, not the State's. |

5. How Illinois prices overweight
Graduated weight bands. 625 ILCS 5/15-307(b) and (c) print a flat fee per 45-mile step for a combination over 80,000 lb and not more than 120,000 lb gross, selected by the configuration — (b) is a 3-axle tractor drawing a trailer on a 3-axle tandem, which is six axles, and (c) the same tractor on a 2-axle tandem, which is five. Beyond the 225-mile step each schedule continues at a fixed amount "for each additional 45 miles or part thereof". A load the table does not reach is priced by 15-307(g) instead, at "$50 plus 3.5 cents per ton-mile in excess of legal weight", and the engine takes that row only where no band covers the load.

The distance charge, with its rounding
Rounding is not a detail here: the same rate over the same miles can differ by a whole increment depending on which pounds are rounded and in which direction, so the rule is printed with the source's own words rather than applied silently.
| Gross weight | Axles | Rate and rounding | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120,001 lb and up | any | $0.02 per mile for each 1,000 lb above 80,000 lba part increment is charged in full ("or fraction thereof")plus $50 added before any dollar rounding |

6. Illinois seasonal posting windows
A permit priced against an unposted-road assumption in March is simply wrong, and wrong in the expensive direction. This is the window we watch, the basis for that window in the state's own orders or statute, and the authority that posts it.
Seasonal posting
- Programme
- Local roads only — the state system is not postedIDOT does not post spring weight restrictions on state highways. Illinois seasonal limits are set by county and township highway commissioners on local roads.
- Issuing authority
- IDOT — Oversize and overweight permitsIllinois Department of Transportation
The live Illinois restriction picture, with the date we last read the bulletin →
7. Illinois's superload threshold
Above one of these, the state stops issuing over the counter and prices the move after an engineering review.
| Trigger | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Gross weight | None published |
| Width | None published |
| Height | None published |
| Length | None published |
| Short axle spacing | Not yet covered |
8. Route survey and bridge review
The dimensions at which Illinois triggers a physical route inspection or an engineering review, and what the agency charges to review it.
| Measurement | Inspection / review trigger |
|---|---|
| Width | over 16'rev. · read "Moves of vehicles or objects over 16 feet in width require a District investigation." |
| Height | 16' or morerev. · read "For movements at 16 feet or greater in height, the applicant shall perform a route survey, listing all overhead obstructions ... The surveyed route must clear all structures by three inches." At 17 ft or greater the applicant must additionally contact every overhead-utility owner and IDOT District personnel perform their own route survey. Illinois publishes no price for either. |
| Length | Not yet covered |
9. Police escorts
Illinois State Police publishes a rate. One officer costs at least an amount the schedule does not let us compute before mileage.
What the schedule does not price3 items
- Additional permit-office processing: $80 per State Police district crossed, or $160 for Chicago, under 92 Ill. Adm. Code 554.911(a). The district itinerary is required; this is separate from hourly ISP vehicle billing.
- IDOT escorts are charged separately at $40.00 per hour per vehicle with an $80.00 minimum per vehicle. Whether IDOT accompanies a given move is decided when the permit is written.
- Time is counted from pickup to completion including delays, with any fraction of an hour rounded up, so the charged hours are not the moving hours.
10. When you can move it
Holiday, curfew and night-travel windows are not yet encoded for Illinois. The seasonal picture — which is a different question — is in section 6 above.
Why those windows are absent rather than estimated
They are not guessed at here. What we do publish is the seasonal weight-restriction picture, with the date we last read each state's own bulletin — a curfew invented from a plausible pattern is worth less than an honest gap, because a reader cannot tell the two apart on the page.
11. Permit office
The agency behind each figure above is linked from that figure. We publish no per-state permit-office phone number.
Why there is no phone number here
We are not publishing per-state permit-office phone numbers yet, and the reason is worth stating: the two seed lists available for them are both demonstrably stale — the federal one gives two different states the same phone number — and a wrong number on a page like this costs somebody a morning. The agency behind each figure above is linked from that figure, which is the part we can stand behind today.
12. What this does not include
Named rather than gestured at, because each of these can exceed the permit itself. Every item is listed; open one for why it is excluded.
Line haul, fuel and driver time
This is a permit fee, not a freight rate.
Civilian pilot car rates
We hold no rate data, and the two commercial sites that publish market rates disagree by nearly a factor of two on the same service.
Route-survey engineering
The agency's review fee is shown where the state publishes one; the engineer's own fee is a private cost with no schedule.
Bonds and escrow
Set per move by the agency, and in at least one state the escort is billed at actual cost against it.
Utility coordination and line lifts
Arranged with each utility, priced by each utility.
Second-issuer permits
A toll, bridge or city authority inside the same state issues its own permit, and a state total that omits it is missing a whole permit.

Questions
How much is an oversize permit in Illinois?
The single-trip base is $0, before the dimension bands, the overweight component and the transaction charge. The base alone is rarely what is paid.
When does Illinois require a pilot car?
The first width trigger is over 14'6".
What is a superload in Illinois?
Illinois publishes no gross-weight superload threshold in the documents on file — see the superload section, which shows the dimensional triggers it does publish.
