Manufactured Home Frames 

Permits for over dimension manufactured home frames loaded on regular or lowboy semitrailers or on specially designed vehicles that are normally accepted as semitrailers and are normally licensed as semitrailers may be issued.

Mobile Home Emergency Moves 

In the event an area has been declared a disaster area by the President or Governor, house trailers may be authorised to move into the area without a standard permit. The house trailers may not exceed 12 feet wide and 85 feet combination length. They must be owned by the victims of the disaster or otherwise be brought into the area for relief purposes. If the units are furnished by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the Permit Office will generally allow movement in conformance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' (AASHTO) National Policy. However, the Permit Office may include additional restrictions in its authorisation.
