New Orleans, LA Oversize Load And Trucking Resources

Official Sources Reviewed: October 23, 2026

A through movement and a delivery inside New Orleans are entered differently on the city application: the city instructs through applicants to use 1300 Perdido Street for the address field, while applicants whose destination is inside the city enter the actual destination. This is an application instruction, not permission to drive to City Hall.
