Wide Load Signs and Oversize Load Signs for Trucks and Pilot Cars
When transporting a wide or oversized load, the process is more than just moving from point A to point B. Wide Load and Oversize Load signs are not just suggested, but often required by law in many states. Whether you're driving a flatbed truck, heavy hauler, or a pilot car with an extra-large shipment, these signs help you comply with DOT regulations and keep the roadway safer for all.
What’s the difference?
A Wide Load is generally any vehicle or load that exceeds the standard legal width, usually over 8.5 feet.
An oversized load refers to a load that’s either too wide, too tall, too long, or too heavy to travel on a road without a special permit.
DOT (Department of Transportation) mandates are strict when it comes to transporting these kinds of loads. Wide Load signs and Oversize Load signs let other drivers know to steer clear, and help avoid fines, delays, and serious accidents.
These signs are commonly used on:
- Flatbed trailers
- Mobile homes
- Escort and pilot cars
- Agricultural and construction equipment haulers
- Utility and tow trucks
Why Oversize Load Signs Matter: Legal & Safety Requirements
- Compliance: Most states require such signs when a load exceeds normal size. Not having the signs could get you tickets, delays, and even liability in an accident.
- Visibility: Reflective letters and bright backgrounds will optimize visibility under all weather and lighting conditions.
- Safety: Providing their notice to fellow drivers prevents sideswipe or sudden brake occurrences.
- Placement: Most regulations require a sign placed both on the front and back of the vehicle, as high as practical on the vehicle, but not too high to be seen from an eye-level view.
Different Types of Wide Load and Oversize Load Signs for Trucks
We offer a range of wide-load and oversized load signage to suit different hauling needs, surfaces, and visibility requirements.
Standard Wide Load Signs:
Reflective signs with bold "WIDE LOAD" lettering. Designed to meet DOT visibility standards. Ideal for general freight and flatbeds.
Oversize Load Signs:
These signs read "OVERSIZE LOAD" and are commonly used on larger loads that exceed both width and length limits.
Magnetic Wide Load Signs:
Easily attach and remove from metal surfaces like truck doors or bumpers. Great for temporary or interchangeable vehicles.
Lightweight Wide Load Banners:
Made from flexible materials like mesh or vinyl. Easy to roll up and store. Ideal for pilot cars or part-time haulers.
Wide Load Flags:
Bright red or orange safety flags to mark the outer edges of oversized cargo. Often required alongside the sign.
Wide Load Sign Kits:
Bundle your sign, flags, and hardware in one package. A convenient and cost-effective option.
Sign Materials & Dimensions:
Most signs come in vinyl or mesh, and are available in sizes like 18”x84” or 24”x96”. Vinyl offers higher durability; mesh reduces wind resistance. Reflective options enhance visibility during night or bad weather.
Secure Your Oversize Load: Best Mounting Methods and Accessories
Choosing the right mounting method is just as important as the sign itself. Here are the common options available:
Quick and flexible installation—ideal for banners on pilot cars or temporary loads.
Grommets
Pre-punched holes make it easy to fasten signs securely using hooks, ties, or cords.
Attaches directly to steel surfaces without tools. No permanent fixtures needed.
Screw-In/Bolt-On Methods
Best for permanent mounts or heavy-duty applications. Especially popular with long-distance haulers.
We also carry sign holders, frames, and other mounting hardware to ensure everything stays in place on the road. Looking for a great value? Try one of our combo kits with signs, flags, and brackets included.

Questions & Answers
Are these signs DOT approved?
Yes, all our signs are designed to meet DOT requirements for size, reflectivity, and visibility.
Can I use the same sign for Wide Load and Oversize Load?
It depends on your cargo. Use "Wide Load" for width-only hauls, and "Oversize Load" for loads exceeding multiple dimensions.
How do I mount the sign securely?
You can mount the signs by using bungee cords, magnetic backings, grommets, and bolt-on frames. Choose based on your vehicle type and usage.
Do these signs come with bungees or fasteners?
Some kits do, while others are sold as standalone signs. Check product descriptions for details.
Are reflective options available?
Yes. Most of our signs feature reflective lettering to ensure nighttime visibility.
What’s the difference between mesh and vinyl?
Mesh is lighter and better for wind flow. Vinyl is stronger and more durable, especially in wet or cold weather.
