Before the move
How we plan a New Jersey load
Every New Jersey move starts with an NJDOT single trip permit. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the New Jersey rules, then sets the escorts and travel windows the permit calls for.
Over 16'W or 14'6"H we attach a route survey to the application, and over 14'H we send the overhead notices before the move.
The Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway need their own approvals, so we plan those early.
