oversized cargo
Too big freight
Oversized cargo is freight that exceeds standard dimensions for transport—too tall, wide, long, or heavy for conventional shipping containers or vehicle limits.
Moving oversized cargo requires special permits, escort vehicles, and route planning: The wind turbine blades traveled as oversized cargo on flatbed trucks.
Also called oversize load or abnormal load.
