Route Surveys for NYC Project Moves

An oversized steel delivery, a large piece of equipment or another non-divisible load needs planning around the route it will actually travel. A route survey helps identify overhead restrictions, difficult turns and access issues before the move.

All Directions Trucking supports trucking companies, heavy haul carriers, contractors and project coordinators working in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Tell us where your load starts, where it needs to arrive and its full loaded dimensions so we can scope the survey and related services.

What We Check

Overhead clearance

Review bridges, overhead obstructions and other clearance concerns along the proposed route against the loaded vehicle dimensions.

Turns and access

Consider tight corners, intersections and the approach to the delivery location for the truck and trailer configuration.

Road and structure restrictions

Identify relevant truck-route, bridge and posted restriction issues for review during permit and move planning.

Project coordination

Coordinate survey findings with the permit application and discuss any pilot car or height pole support needed for the approved move.

Request Your NYC Route Survey

  1. Send the load and route details. Provide loaded height, width and length; truck and trailer configuration; gross and axle weights; pickup; destination; and your requested move date.
  2. Confirm the scope. We review your request and discuss the survey, service availability and any permit application or escort coordination.
  3. Coordinate the move. Use the survey findings with the agency-approved route and permit conditions before travel. A survey is not itself permission to move.

If an NYC application number has already been assigned, include it with your request. You can start a permit application request or send a route survey quote request.

Route Surveys & NYC Truck Permits

A route survey and an over-dimensional permit serve different purposes. NYC DOT determines the authorization and conditions for permitted travel; the survey supports planning for the route and vehicle. We can assist with NYC oversize truck permit applications and coordinate related services.

Requirements depend on the vehicle, load, roads and structures involved. For current official information, review NYC DOT's over-dimensional permit guidance and size and weight restrictions. A state permit does not automatically authorize travel on city roads or separately controlled facilities. The issued permit and approved route control the move.

Common Questions

Do you cover every borough of New York City?

We provide route survey services for moves involving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Share your starting point and destination so we can confirm the scope and availability.

Can you help with the permit and escort too?

Yes. All Directions Trucking offers NYC permit application support, height pole escorts and front and rear pilot car services. Requirements and availability are reviewed for the particular move.

How quickly can a route survey be arranged?

Timing depends on the route, loaded dimensions, survey scope and availability. Call with your details and requested move date. Survey scheduling and agency permit processing are separate; an approval time is not guaranteed.

Can a general navigation route replace a survey or approved route?

No. An ordinary navigation route does not establish clearance or permission for an oversized load. Use the required survey and the route and conditions approved by the relevant permitting authorities.
