Escort Requirements:
While traveling on certain routes, escorts are needed when:
- Overhang on the front or rear exceeds 25’.
- Load width exceeds lane width and, if because of length and/or width, the load and/or vehicle will encroach into the adjacent lanes. Generally, escorts are not required when 11’-12’ wide vehicles/loads are traveling on an urban freeway.
- Mobile home width exceeds 10’ on certain routes.
- Otherwise determined by the California DOT based on route and size.

In addition, manufactured housing shall not move when the velocity of the wind is such that it causes the vehicle being towed to whip or swerve from side-to-side or fail to follow substantially in the path of the towing vehicle.
Explanation of California Weight Classifications:
California has three classifications for overweight permits: Orange, Green, and Purple. Your classification is based on the weight on each of your axle loading groups
The “axle loading group” is all axles within an 18’0” axle bridge regardless of whether they use a common suspension or not. Anything within 3’6” of each other is considered one axle
For 4 ties per axle at 8’ wide, maximum permitable weight for an axle group for each category is determined by the following formulas:
L=Length in feet between the first and last axle
Orange-700(L+40)
Green-1.3 x 700(L+40)
Purple-1.5 x 700(L+40)
Add 15% for 8 tires per axle at 8’ wide
Add 25% for 8 tires per axle at 10’ wide
