Commercial operators stay legal buying oversize permits. Some state will permit oversize vehicles in non-commercial use, others will sell permits only to DOT registered operators. This is done state by state, and rules differ. What sizes require what permits, what routes they can use, if, when and where escorts are required. Over length, up to a point, can usually self-escort, but permits are still required, in some cases long term, others per trip, and they are valid on specific highways.
What you see on the road is not an example of what a private operator of a private vehicle can do at will. You can get a private pilot's license and operate a small plane under a particular set of rules, but doesn't mean you can fly a 747 even if you own it. In many places you can operate a small power boat with no license at all, but you can't bring Freedom of the Seas into port until you are qualified and have the permits. Same kinds of limits and qualifications for road traffic. NASCAR transporters and other big rigs are not illegal, they are operating under a different set of rules with quite specific qualifications and restrictions.
