The New Hampshire Load form is an essential document for individuals and businesses looking to transport oversized or overweight loads within the state. This form is managed by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and requires specific information to ensure compliance with state regulations. Applicants must provide details about the load, including its dimensions, weight, and the type of vehicle used for transport. There are options for single trip or annual permits, depending on the frequency of use. The form also includes sections for applicant information, payment methods, and an itinerary for the planned route. It is important for applicants to understand the legal limits for dimensions and weights, as exceeding these limits can result in penalties. Additionally, the form outlines responsibilities regarding the movement of loads, including the need for pilot cars for particularly large loads and adherence to daylight travel restrictions. By filling out this form accurately and completely, applicants can facilitate a smoother permitting process for their transportation needs.

By applying you are accepting and agreeing to all the terms and conditions with the permitting process, and the holder certifies that he/she is familiar with all New Hampshire traffic, motor vehicle, and other laws, requirements, and rules governing a move including, but not limited to, time, date, and location, as well as size of load, and will be in full compliance during movement. The applicant agrees that all dimensions and weights applied for are true and correct and that a permit does not allow the permit holder to cross any load posted bridges without prior review, as well as exceed manufacturers’ Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), axle capacities, or tire capacities on any portion of the permitted equipment. If the applicant crosses any load posted bridges without prior review or the load on any portion of the permitted equipment exceeds any of these manufacturers’ criteria, the permit shall be null and void. The applicant agrees to move at own risk and assume all responsibility for injury to persons or

damage to public or private property caused directly or indirectly by the transportation of the vehicle or load under the permit.

What is the New Hampshire Load form and why is it necessary?

The New Hampshire Load form is an application used to request a permit for moving loads that exceed legal limits on state roads. This form is essential because it ensures that oversized or overweight loads are transported safely and legally. By obtaining this permit, you are complying with state regulations designed to protect public safety and infrastructure. Without it, you risk facing penalties and potential damage to roads and bridges.

How do I fill out the New Hampshire Load form?

Filling out the New Hampshire Load form requires careful attention to detail. Start by providing your applicant information, including your company name and contact details. Specify whether you are applying for a new or renewal permit. Next, accurately describe the load, including its dimensions, weight, and type of vehicle. Be sure to include your itinerary, detailing the origin and destination of your load. Finally, submit the application along with the required payment. Double-check all entries to avoid delays in processing.

What are the fees associated with obtaining a Load permit?

Fees for obtaining a Load permit in New Hampshire vary based on the type of permit you are applying for. For single trip permits, the cost can range from $5.50 to $10.50, depending on the weight of the load. Annual permits, which allow for multiple trips, have a flat fee of $115 for statewide travel or $60 for a 100-mile radius. It’s important to include the appropriate payment with your application to ensure timely processing.

What are the legal limits for loads in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire has specific legal limits for both dimensions and weights of loads. For instance, the maximum width for a load is 8 feet 6 inches, while the maximum height is 13 feet 6 inches. Weight limits vary based on the number of axles and the type of vehicle. For example, a vehicle with three axles can have a maximum gross weight of 54,500 pounds. If your load exceeds these limits, a permit is mandatory to legally transport it.

What responsibilities do I have when moving an oversized load?

When moving an oversized load, you bear significant responsibilities. You must comply with all terms and conditions outlined in the permit, including adhering to specified travel routes and times. Additionally, you are responsible for any damage caused to public or private property during transport. It's crucial to ensure that your load does not exceed the manufacturer's weight ratings and that you have the necessary escort vehicles if required. By taking these precautions, you help ensure a safe journey for yourself and others on the road.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: The New Hampshire Load form is only for oversized loads.
  • This form is not limited to oversized loads. It also applies to overweight loads, which may not necessarily exceed size limits but can exceed weight limits. Both types of permits are covered under this application process.

  • Misconception 2: Once a permit is obtained, there are no further restrictions on movement.
  • In reality, a permit does not grant unrestricted access. The holder must comply with specific conditions, including adhering to legal dimensions and weight restrictions. Additionally, crossing load-posted bridges requires prior review.

  • Misconception 3: The application process is the same for all types of loads.
  • The process varies depending on whether the application is for a single trip or an annual permit. Different information and fees apply, so applicants must pay attention to the specifics of their request.

  • Misconception 4: Fees are fixed and do not vary based on the type of load.
  • Fees can change based on the dimensions and weight of the load. For instance, additional charges apply for loads exceeding certain weight thresholds. Understanding these fees is crucial for accurate budgeting.

  • Misconception 5: A pilot car is only required for the largest loads.
  • This is not accurate. A pilot car is required for loads that are twelve feet wide or longer than eighty feet, regardless of their overall weight. This requirement ensures safety on the roads.
