There is no universal definition for what is considered an oversize load. Oversize simply means larger than the standard freight size and weight restrictions. The definition of oversize can vary between carriers or based on road limitations like state laws or an area’s infrastructure.
In general, oversize freight is more than 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) in width and 13 ft. 6 in. (4.11 m) in height. Because of its size and weight, oversize freight requires special logistics, including careful pre-planning and specialized equipment.
Oversize loads require specialized equipment. The best oversize load boards, like the DAT load board, let you specify your equipment when you post your truck or search through loads. That way you are only matched with oversize loads that require the equipment you already have. Some of the specialized equipment you can search and post on the DAT load board are:
- Flatbed
- Stepdeck or Dropdeck
- Double Drop
- Removable Gooseneck (RGN)
- Stretch or Extendable
- Multiple Axles (Multi-Axle)
No matter what kind of load you’re looking for — whether it’s an oversize load or an LTL — DAT’s load boards make it easy to line up your next job with just a few clicks. Just post your truck or set up a load search alarm and DAT does the rest.
You can also use the load board to search spot market rates on your preferred lanes, get triangular routing suggestions to maximize your profits, and even save your favorite search filters so you can find more jobs quickly.
The short answer is that DAT’s load boards make your life easier.

With DAT’s load boards, you can focus on the road instead of searching for jobs.
