oversize-overweight-permits

oversize-overweight-permits is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from x3allamerican/skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to permits for loads that exceed legal truck size or weight limits. It explains state-by-state permits, route surveys, escort vehicles, holiday restrictions, and rules for hauling through multiple states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to determine whether a load needs an oversize or overweight permit and to plan compliant routes, escorts, and multi-state hauls.
Why use it?
It helps carriers avoid routes, dimensions, and weights that require approval or special safety arrangements.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

oversize-overweight-permits scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Oversize / Overweight Permits

A truck carrying a load that exceeds federal or state size/weight limits needs a permit. Each state issues its own. Multi-state hauls require multiple permits or a multi-state pre-approval.

Federal weight limits

Federal limits (under Section 127 of Title 23):

Axle Type Federal Limit
Single axle 20,000 lb
Tandem axle 34,000 lb
Maximum gross 80,000 lb
Federal Bridge Formula Total ≤ 80K + 500 × (1 + L)/2 — for 5+ axles

Beyond these = overweight permit required.

Federal size limits

Dimension Federal Limit (Interstate)
Length: tractor 60 feet typical (varies)
Length: trailer (53') 53 feet max on Interstate
Length: combination (tractor + 53') 75 feet (varies by state)
Length: combination (tractor + double 28') 75 feet
Width 8 feet 6 inches (102 inches)
Height 13 feet 6 inches (some states 14 feet)

Beyond these = oversize permit required.

State permitting offices

Each state has a permit office:

  • Texas DMV — Oversize/Overweight Permits
  • California DMV — Transportation Permits
  • Florida DOT — Oversize/Overweight Section
  • Illinois DOT — Permit Section
  • ... etc.

Permits typically applied for via:

  • State portal (online)
  • Phone (some states)
  • Permitting service (private; ~$25-50 per permit + state fees)

Common permit costs (state)

Type Approximate Cost
Single trip permit $20-100
Multi-trip / annual permit $200-500 per state
Oversize: width-only Lower
Oversize: height Higher (need route survey)
Overweight (heavy haul) Higher (per-axle escalation)

For a multi-state haul (e.g., Houston → Boston with an oversize load):

  • ~15 states crossed
  • ~15 permits at $50 average = $750 just in permits
  • Plus permitting service fee
  • Plus pilot car costs (see below)
  • Total: $1,500-$5,000 in permitting per single trip

Permit timing

  • Standard permits — Same-day or next-day issuance
  • Holiday restrictions — Most states ban oversize/overweight movement on weekends, holidays, and high-traffic times
  • Route survey required for height >14'2" — typically 1-3 business days
  • Escort vehicle requirements — based on dimensions; see below

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Audit and normalize SPDX license headers before releasing or open-sourcing a repository

Use REUSE when an agent needs file-level licensing clarity instead of guessing from a single top-level LICENSE file. The agent checks compliance, adds or verifies SPDX headers, pulls missing license texts into LICENSES/, and produces a concrete remediation list or SPDX export.
