Over-dimensional · Specialized
Freight that doesn't fit a standard trailer needs a plan first.
Over-dimensional (OD) freight exceeds standard legal width, height, length or weight limits and usually needs specialized trailers, state permits and sometimes escort vehicles. Specialized freight also covers loads that are legal-size but need particular equipment, securement or handling.
