Maryland may have special permit routes for oversize and overweight loads exceeding these limits.

Failure to stop at an open weigh station is a serious violation that can result in fines, out-of-service orders, and CSA score impacts that affect your operating authority. Always check weigh station status via 511, Trucker Path, or state DOT apps before approaching Clarksburg.
