Whenever an escort is required

  • police escort is at the district engineer's discretion, not a fixed dimension/weight trigger. Confirm directly with HIDOT before moving a tall or long load.

Each example changes one dimension from a legal 8′6″ wide, 13′6″ high, 75′, 80,000 lb tractor-trailer. Real moves often combine several. “Set by permit” means Hawaii decides that case on the permit itself. Permits can add conditions of their own, so check yours before you move.
