The short version: a New Jersey single-trip permit starts at $0 before bands, overweight and the transaction charge; an escort is first required at over 14' wide; and the load becomes a superload at a gross weight the state does not publish. Everything below carries the New Jersey 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. New Jersey 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"undated document · read N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.a(1): "shall be no more than 102 inches" on the National Network and New Jersey access routes. The Guidebook §2.1.1 states 96 inches on routes that are neither, and the Commissioner may set 96 inches on designated roads — a quote cannot establish which roads a lane uses, so the National Network figure is used. |
| Height | 13'6"undated document · read N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.a(2): "shall not exceed 13 feet, 6 inches". |
| Semitrailer length | 53'rev. · read "53 feet on National Network and access routes 48 feet on other routes" (N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.a(4)). A 41 ft kingpin-to-rear-axle limit also applies and is not modelled, because a quote does not collect the kingpin distance; a non-divisible load may run to 63 ft of semitrailer. |
| Overall length | None published |
| Kingpin to rear axle | None published |
| Front overhang | None published |
| Rear overhang | None published |
| Gross weight | 80,000 lbundated document · read N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.b(4): "shall not exceed 80,000 pounds". The federal bridge formula table also applies on the Interstate system and is checked separately. |
| Single axle | 22,400 lbundated document · read N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.b(1): "shall not exceed 22,400 pounds". |
| Tandem axle | 34,000 lbundated document · read N.J.S.A. 39:3-84.b(2): "shall not exceed 34,000 pounds where the distance between consecutive axle centers is 40 inches or more" (and not more than 96 inches). |
3. The New Jersey 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.

4. New Jersey single-trip permit fees
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Single-trip base | $0rev. · read Guidebook Table 4 prints the oversize fee as "$10 permit fee + ..." and the overweight fee as "$10 Base Fee + ...", and N.J.A.C. 13:18-1.6(a) prints $10.00 for either permit and $20.00 for both. There is no third issuance charge, so the whole base is inside the two components. |
| Transaction / card | $12 + 5% of the totalundated document · read The Fee Schedule's own worked examples fix the order of operations: "$12 plus a service charge of 5% for a total permit fee of $12.60/permit", and "$100 base fee + $12 Transaction Fee + 5% Service charge = $117.60/permit". Both require the 5% to apply to a total that already includes the $12. |

5. How New Jersey prices overweight
Graduated weight bands. N.J.A.C. 13:18-1.6(c) charges "$5.00 for each 2,000 pounds or fractional portion thereof" of excess weight — a formula, not a per-mile rate, not a per-axle-count schedule and not an agency band table. It is enumerated here at 2,000 lb steps up to 300,000 lb; New Jersey publishes no superload classification and therefore no ceiling, so a heavier load is reported as unpriced rather than folded into the top step.

6. New Jersey 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
- No seasonal weight-restriction programme on the state systemNo spring thaw weight programme. New Jersey does not reach the sustained frost depth the northern tier restricts for.
- Issuing authority
- NJDOT — Oversize/overweight truckingNew Jersey Department of Transportation
The live New Jersey restriction picture, with the date we last read the bulletin →
7. New Jersey'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 New Jersey triggers a physical route inspection or an engineering review, and what the agency charges to review it.
| Measurement | Inspection / review trigger |
|---|---|
| Width | over 16'undated document · read "Route survey is required when the overall width exceeds 16' or height exceeds 14' 6''." The survey is attached to the application, is carrier-supplied, and NJDOT publishes no fee for it. |
| Height | over 14'6"undated document · read |
| Length | Not yet covered |
9. Police escorts
No schedule exists, and that is structural rather than a gap. NJDOT assigns only private escorts — "Only private escorts are assigned to permitted loads" — so there is no state police escort trigger and no rate. A Port Authority Police escort through Port Newark is arranged directly with PAPD and is not a state fee.
This is a positive finding: we searched and there is nothing to quote. It is not the same as "no police escort is ever required here".
10. When you can move it
Holiday, curfew and night-travel windows are not yet encoded for New Jersey. 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 New Jersey?
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 New Jersey require a pilot car?
The first width trigger is over 14'.
What is a superload in New Jersey?
New Jersey publishes no gross-weight superload threshold in the documents on file — see the superload section, which shows the dimensional triggers it does publish.
