oversized load
Wide cargo warning
An oversized load is cargo that exceeds standard legal limits for width, height, length, or weight on public roads.
Trucks carrying oversized loads require special permits and safety measures—escort vehicles, warning flags, and signs reading OVERSIZED LOAD or WIDE LOAD.
The phrase sometimes describes anything unusually large or cumbersome: That couch is an oversized load to get up the stairs.
