Georgia Oversize Permit, Wide and Heavy Haul Information

Truckers should also be aware that Georgia state law requires trucks to have their headlights on whenever the weather is so poor as to need windshield wipers. This includes rain, snow, hail, and fog - if you cannot see at least 500 feet in front of your truck due to any of these conditions, you need to turn on your lights or risk being pulled over by police.

Georgia is a state that has many requirements for oversize trucks. For example, truck drivers who are driving in Georgia must have the correct signs and lights on their vehicles at all times to meet legal standards.

First of all, it's important to understand what types of signs you need as an OTR driver when traveling through Georgia. In this case, there are two different kinds: "overweight" and "hazardous material." The latter should be used if your load requires extra special permits or inspections from the state -- such as fireworks or flammable liquids like gasoline and propane gas tanks.

There may also be certain flags required by federal regulations depending on your specific situation load size/type; vehicle length and height; distance traveled, etc.
