Project Overview

The Oversize Freight Permit Cost Calculator App is a specialized digital platform built to simplify and automate the process of calculating state-wise permit costs for oversize/over-dimension loads across the United States. 

 

The app empowers truck drivers, trucking companies, freight brokers, dispatchers, shipping companies, and permit agencies to enter freight details (origin, destination, dimensions, weight) and instantly receive accurate permit cost estimates for their entire route.
