Before a haulier can move an abnormal load he must notify and gain consent from the Police. In addition, if the gross weight or axle weights exceed those specified on the C and U regulations he must indemnify the Highway Authority and all bridge owners along the proposed route (e.g. Network Rail). </p><p>An abnormal load can potentially go on any road provided the haulier complies with the law. Some roads are more suitable and more extensively used e.g. A Class Roads.</p><h3>Notice Periods </h3><p>The law requires the haulier to give a minimum of two clear days notice to the Police, Highway Authority and Bridge owners before moving the load.</p><p>The notice period for loads over 150 tonnes, 6.1 metres wide or 27.4 metres long is different and hauliers moving such loads need special orders from the Department of Transport. </p><p>For full details of the notification requirements for large and heavy loads, download the document below from the department of transport:</p><ul>
