Include the approved GDOT oversized-load permit and proposed route with Savannah’s city application. Traffic Engineering examines route suitability, while tree and police reviews affect the route and timing. Have the carrier coordinate any required police escort instead of treating the state permit as confirmation of the city move date.
State permit accompanies city filing
Include the approved GDOT oversized-load permit and proposed city route.
Route review has several participants
Traffic Engineering, the tree authority and Police each affect the proposed route or timing.
Utilities can change the usable date
The applicant coordinates conflicting overhead facilities with the affected utility owners.
Clearance issues can change the move plan
| Planning point | What the existing guidance says |
|---|---|
| City route and agency review | The Savannah oversize load and move permit guide describes an inspection of the requested route and separate review by the city’s tree authority and Police Department. |
| Utility conflicts | Where overhead facilities conflict with the load, the applicant must coordinate with the affected utility owners. |
| Timing consequence | Those arrangements can affect when a route is usable. |
Provide the proposed Savannah route endpoints
Include the home’s loaded size and any known overhead obstruction. Ask the carrier which local reviews and escort arrangements are still needed for the planned movement.
Keep the proposed date tied to the city’s review and any escort coordination. A transport quote should identify these dependencies; it should not assume utility relocation, tree work or a police escort is already arranged.
