Camden, NJ
Farm Equipment Transport

New Jersey generally limits commercial loads to 8 feet 6 inches in width, 13 feet 6 inches in height, a 53-foot semitrailer on designated routes, and 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, subject to axle and bridge-formula requirements. Lower clearances, bridge restrictions, and local truck-route limits may apply within Camden and on surrounding urban roads.

A New Jersey oversize or overweight permit may be required when farm equipment exceeds legal dimensions or weight limits. Applications must include accurate loaded measurements, axle weights, vehicle configuration, origin, destination, and proposed route. Separate authorization may be needed for Camden streets, Camden County roads, toll roads, bridge facilities, or port-controlled property.

New Jersey may require pilot cars when farm equipment exceeds dimensions allowed for unescorted permit travel or when the route presents clearance and traffic concerns. The permit may require front, rear, or multiple escorts, along with warning devices and communication equipment. Police assistance or additional traffic control may be required on Camden streets, bridge facilities, toll roads, or port-related routes.

New Jersey permit conditions determine the approved travel hours for oversized agricultural equipment moving through Camden. Urban congestion, bridge restrictions, toll-facility rules, and port activity may require nighttime, weekend, or off-peak movement. Additional restrictions may apply during holidays, severe weather, or periods of heavy traffic.

Agricultural equipment leaving Camden should be loaded in a secure area with sufficient room for the trailer, ramps, and tie-down work. Proper chains, binders, blocking, warning signs, flags, amber lights, and pilot cars may be required based on the New Jersey permit. Port, industrial, bridge, and toll-road facilities may also impose their own safety and access requirements.

Interstate 676, Interstate 76, U.S. Route 30, and U.S. Route 130 provide regional access around Camden. Route planning should account for urban congestion, bridge and toll restrictions, low clearances, port or industrial access rules, and the transition from city streets to agricultural roads elsewhere in New Jersey.
