OVERWEIGHT/OVERSIZE LOAD PERMITTING

OVERWEIGHT/OVERSIZE PERMITS

If a vehicle is oversize or overweight, a temporary permit is needed for your vehicle. These oversize load permits authorize transportation despite being over the standard limitations regarding configuration and weight. Oversize load permits also contain routing information, travel regulations/restrictions, and safety requirements. There are many determining factors when reviewing overweight/oversize permitting requirements. If a vehicle is oversize or overweight, a temporary permit is needed. This permit authorizes movement according to vehicle configurations and weight. A permit may be required if:

  • Overall height exceeds 13'6"
  • Overall width exceeds 8'6"
  • Trailer length exceeds 48 feet
  • Overall weight exceeds 80,000 pounds

NOTE:

Requirements differ by locality, the above are "general" guidelines. Please call us for more information at (888) 949-4220.

INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION PLAN (IRP)

Apportioned vehicles must be registered under IRP. The Plan defines an apportion-able vehicle as: any vehicle that is used or intended for use in two or more member jurisdictions and that is used for the transportation of persons for hire or designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property, and:

  1. has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight in excess of 26,000 pounds (11,793.401 kilograms), or
  2. has three or more axles, regardless of weight, or
  3. is used in combination, when the gross vehicle weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds (11,793.401 kilograms).

Exceptions: Recreational vehicles, vehicles displaying restricted plates, or government-owned vehicles.
Optional: Trucks or truck tractors, or combinations of vehicles having a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds (11,793.401 kilograms), or less.

INTERNATIONAL FUEL TAX AGREEMENT (IFTA)

You qualify for an IFTA license if you operate your qualified motor vehicle in California and any other U.S. state or Canadian province that is a member of the International Fuel Tax Agreement.
A vehicle used or designed to transport people or property is a qualified motor vehicle if it:

  1. has three or more axles; or
  2. has two axles and a gross vehicle or registered gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms; or
  3. is used in a combination that has a combined or registered gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms. A recreational vehicle such as a motor home or a pickup with a camper is not considered a qualified motor vehicle when an individual uses it exclusively for personal pleasure. Vehicles used in connection with a business operation are not considered recreational.

If you operate a diesel-powered qualified motor vehicle whose interstate travel is restricted to Mexico and California, you do not qualify for an IFTA license. However, you would qualify for the Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax (DI) License.
If you operate a qualified motor vehicle whose travel is restricted to California only, you are not required to hold an IFTA or DI license.

MILEAGE PERMITS

When operating in KY, NM, NY, and OR, a vehicle may require a Mileage Permit in addition to fuel and trip permits.
