Pennsylvania Permit Rules for Shed Moves

Any shed move in Bethlehem that exceeds 8'6" wide or 13'6" tall on the trailer becomes an oversize load under Pennsylvania rules. The permit comes from the PennDOT Oversize Permits, and the fee is typically $30–$200 for a single-trip move.

Front escort above 12' wide; some turnpike sections need a route survey. Pennsylvania is known for Appalachian grades and historic-borough street widths, which affects route planning more than in flatter states. Your hauler handles the permit, the route survey if one's needed, and any escort coordination — you don't have to call the state.
