Our selection of load height sticks will allow you to measure up to 20 ft., more than enough for you to choose the right route to your next destination.

Legal Height Limits
There is no Federal vehicle height requirement for Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMV's). In turn, States may set their own height restrictions. It is always a good practice to check with your state and DOT officials for state regulations. All states have their own legal height limits. This is a combined or overall height of the trailer and the load. A flatbed trailer that is 5′ can carry a piece that is 8’6″ making a total height of 13’6″. If the example were a total of 14′, you could legally haul in the western states, but the eastern states would require a permit for over height. Although more specialized trailers like a double drop can haul taller loads, they have the same restrictions to overall height limits.
Designated Highways
States often have exceptions based on routes.
