Reno, NV Oversize Load And Trucking Resources

Official Sources Reviewed: October 23, 2026

Reno section 6.14.160 directs commercial vehicles and towed units above 10,000 pounds to Schedule A truck routes. It allows specific pickup, delivery or essential-use access using the shortest connection to a truck route; it does not allow non-truck streets as a convenient connection between two truck routes.

Which Local Sources Matter In Reno?

Schedule A is maintained for public inspection by the City Clerk and City Engineer. The online chapter alone is not a complete current route table.

The same section has a separate written city-traffic-engineer permit pathway for certain nighttime truck access from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. This is a local truck-access condition, distinct from claiming the city issues the state oversized-load permit.

Reno and Sparks are separate cities. A Sparks truck stop, permit contact or restriction must retain that locality.

  • Reno City Council — Local Freight Analysis / Regional Truck Route Plan Proposal — The 2025 city staff report seeks a regional truck-route study for the FY 2026–2027 planning program because older local truck routes need updating. It proposes RTC coordination and later agency approval. Full text could not be retrieved; only the stated official indexed material was reviewed.
  • Reno Administrative Code — Chapter 6.14 Truck Regulations — Section 6.14.160 directs commercial vehicles and towed units above 10,000 pounds to Schedule A truck routes, with specific essential-use or pickup/delivery access exceptions. It separately regulates nighttime non-truck-route access and temporary routes. Full text could not be retrieved; only the stated official indexed material was reviewed.
  • Nevada Legislature — NRS 484D.725–.735 — Current Nevada law assigns oversized-load permit issuance to NDOT and requires the particular requested highways and actual load.
