Before you book — Australian compliance
Oversize / overmass permits — Western Australia
A move to or from WA travels outside NHVR jurisdiction, so oversize or overmass loads need permits from Main Roads WA — not NHVR Go. Very wide loads (over ~5.5 m) may also require a WA Traffic Escort Warden, which can add roughly $1,000–$2,500 per day to a quote. Confirm requirements with Main Roads WA before booking.
