Whenever an escort is required
- a Vermont State Police escort is set at the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles' discretion as an individual permit condition, not a published table.
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 Vermont decides that case on the permit itself. Permits can add conditions of their own, so check yours before you move.
