About Abnormal Load Quotes

What is on this site

One question, "abnormal load transport quotes", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• What counts as an abnormal load? Weights, widths and lengths: A vehicle over 44,000kg, wider than 2.9m or with a rigid length over 18.65m is an abnormal load. The thresholds, the STGO categories and what each one triggers.
• Abnormal load notification: who to tell, when, and what ESDAL does: Hauliers must notify highway, police and bridge authorities of abnormal load movements. The notice periods gov.uk publishes, and how the ESDAL system handles it.
• Abnormal load escorts and attendants: when they are required: Attendants and escort vehicles are triggered by width, length and projection thresholds published by gov.uk. What is required when, and what it adds to a movement.
• Abnormal load haulage cost: what actually sets the price: Abnormal load haulage is priced by route and category, not by mile. The drivers that set your quote, and the questions that make two hauliers comparable.

We are not affiliated with National Highways, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, the police or any other body named on this site. We may receive a fee from providers; you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We are not a haulier, and nothing here is legal or compliance advice: notification duties sit with the operator moving the load.
