Before the move
How we plan a Utah load
Every Utah move starts with a UDOT permit. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the Utah rules, then sets the escorts and travel windows the permit calls for.
Over 16'H our lead escort runs a non conductive height pole, and over 17'6"H we get the utility clearances before the move.
Loads over 17'W or 17'6"H go to the UDOT superload team early, because Region right of way reviews can take up to 2 weeks.
