AB 511

Under current law, with limited exceptions, no person may operate on a

highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles that exceeds certain statutory limits

on size, weight, or load unless that person possesses a permit issued by the

Department of Transportation. Currently, DOT may issue an annual or consecutive

month permit for an oversize or overweight vehicle to transport loads within 11 miles

of the Wisconsin-Michigan state line and on specifically designated highways, if the

vehicle does not violate length or weight limitations under Michigan law (commonly

known as the Michigan border permit).
