How long do over dimensional permits take?
Permit timelines and planning tips from Gateway Logistics in New Hampshire, NH.
Your oversized equipment ships next week. You just discovered you need special permits for the move. Now you're wondering if there's enough time to get the paperwork done before your delivery deadline hits.
Most over dimensional permits in New Hampshire take 2-5 business days to process once you submit a complete application. The state reviews your load dimensions, weight, route, and escort requirements. Peak construction season from April through October can add extra days to the timeline.
Permit costs range from $30-200 depending on your load size and route complexity. Multi-state moves take longer since each state processes separately. Expedited processing is available for urgent shipments but costs 50-100% more than standard fees.
Start your permit application as soon as you know your exact dimensions and delivery route. Gather your load specifications, truck details, and preferred travel dates before calling. Gateway Logistics handles the entire permit process and can advise on realistic timelines for your specific move.
Once permits are approved, your oversized load can move legally through New Hampshire. You'll have clear travel windows, required escort details, and route restrictions spelled out. No surprises or delays at weigh stations.
