You should check to see that your company name in the "Issue To" and "Charge To" fields. The "Issue To" field can be changed, if you are ordering the permit for another company, but the "Charged To" cannot . If you need to change the "Issue To" field, it is critical that new account number be correct. If you have the wrong number or make a mistake when you enter it, the permit will be issued to the wrong customer or rejected because there is no customer with that account number.

There is a field on the PERBA Web site that contains the permit types. If you click on the drop down list you can then highlight the type you need. The permits listed below, which do not require a route, will be issued automatically by PERBA 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

After you have chosen the type of permit you require, you will then hit the Submit Button. This will bring up your specific permit form for the type you selected.

To establish a CASH BOND, a cashier's check or a certified check must be posted with the Truck Permit Office. To execute the bond, the check amount should be in the minimum amount of $1,000.00 or increments of $1,000.00 to an amount equal to the customer's monthly billing. It is also required that your Federal Identification number be furnished when opening you account.

Customers who fail to pay the full invoice amount of a charge account within thirty (30) days of the billing date may have further privileges revoked and the Department will close you account.

A charge account allows a customer to purchase books of blank permit forms which may be activated as needed by the permittee. In order to cover printing and handling costs, a book of fifty (50) permit forms is sold for $5.00.

A Control Permit Form (C-Form) can be activated by filling it out completely in ink and then placing a telephone call to the Truck Permit Office. The form is not valid without the Permit Number which is supplied by the DOTD Permit Issuing Official at the time of activation.

The white original sheet of the permit must be carried with the vehicle for which it was issued at all times. The yellow copy must be mailed to the Truck Permit Office within twenty-four (24) hours of the Permit's activation.
