Texas + New Mexico · Preliminary planning

Know your load.Plan your next move.

Lucky helps organize the details and flag a few common size concerns. Your next step is a conversation with the office—not an automatic clearance to haul.

Planning only—not a permit or safety clearance. This is a limited, rules-based screen. It does not check live routes, bridges, axle limits, equipment ratings, weather or every exception. Do not move until a qualified operator and the applicable authority confirm the requirements.

01 / Where and what?

Select every state on your route. Leave measurements blank when you do not know them; Lucky will list what is missing.

State(s) on the route *

Vehicle configuration *

Cargo description (optional)

Pickup location (optional)

Delivery location (optional)

Cargo type *

02 / Loaded dimensions

Use the complete loaded vehicle. Height is measured from the road to the highest point, including the trailer deck. Overall length includes the truck, trailer and load. Enter feet and inches separately below.

Loaded width (optional)

FeetInches

Loaded road-to-top height (optional)

FeetInches

Overall loaded length, ft (optional)

Trailer body length, ft (optional)

Front overhang, ft (optional)

Rear overhang, ft (optional)

For the length / overhang fields, use decimal feet: 3 ft 6 in = 3.5 ft. Overhang is measured beyond the foremost / rearmost vehicle, not just beyond the trailer deck.

03 / Weight

A cargo weight is not the loaded truck’s gross weight. This screen does not calculate axle distribution, bridge limits, safe payload or New Mexico legal weight.

What does the weight represent? *

Reported weight, lb (optional)

Sources, scope & reference date

Reference inspection: November 12, 2026. These are static checks, not a live regulatory feed. The numeric screen disables itself after 90 days pending an owner review.

TxDMV — standard size and weight references
TxDMV — axle / bridge weight table
New Mexico — 18.19.8 NMAC, including height and projecting loads
New Mexico state truckers guide — archived dimensional reference (PDF). Not used for current fees, phone numbers or weight clearance.
NMDOT — current permit information

Only selected width, height, Texas configuration/weight and overhang comparisons are automated. All New Mexico gross/axle weight and length decisions, route restrictions, special cargo and exceptions remain manual. No complete legal / safety determination is made.

Keep the final decision with the right people

Official resources. No guesswork.

Texas permits

Confirm the correct permit and route with TxDMV. Actual dimensions, axle details and the complete configuration matter.

New Mexico permits

Use the official NMDOT system. A Texas permit or threshold does not authorize the New Mexico portion of a trip.

Cargo securement

Dimensions alone do not address restraint, working load limits or commodity-specific requirements. Have a qualified operator review the plan.
