Foreword

The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association is pleased to publish this Oversize/ Overweight Permit Manual. Each state analysis includes information in a standardized format: contact, legal limits, special permit limits, general restrictions, types of permits available, fees, escort needs, fines, and restricted travel areas. Telephone numbers, locations, and hours of operation are listed for ports of entry and permit branches. However, readers are always advised to check with the state offices on current laws and procedures. This project could not have been completed without the advice and consultation of many state officials. We thank all of those who provided permit manuals, maps, laws, regulations, and various other forms of documentation.

PERMIT ORDERING Online permit application processing is not currently available. Hauling Permit Unit customers can contact: (410)582-5724, (410)582-5731 or (410)582-5725.

The Automated Hauling Permit System (AHPS) is available to ALL customers. To access the online permitting system you must first establish an account. Since we now accept credit cards you are no longer required to obtain a credit bond, escrow account or an irrevocable letter of credit. You may create an account and pay for permits via credit card and e-check. To establish an account we require basic company information which consists of company name, address, phone #,dot#, fein#, for users accessing the system first and last name (takes about 2 minutes to setup an account). For companies who wish to setup an account using a credit bond a minimum credit bond amount of $1000 is required. (Note: You are being bonded for $1000 not paying $1000). If you choose to open an escrow account or use an irrevocable letter of credit you will need to determine your estimated monthly volume (dollar amount) and determine the amount you will need. We will need to have the original bond and irrevocable letter of credit on file. Escrow account users can make payments to their online account using credit card and e-check payment options.
