1. How do I get started?

2. Once the Permit Application Form is on the screen, What do I need to look for first?

3. After Submitting the application, What happens next?

4. Do I have to be a charge customer? Must I fill out and use a blank permit form to order an Internet permit.

No, you do not have to a charge customer to apply for permits via the Internet. However, if you are not a charge customer, you can purchase permits for oversize only and you must use a Prepaid Oversize ("A") form to apply (NOTE: For more information on using Prepaid Oversize Permits for Internet applications, see the Truck Permits, under memo's web page). Charge customers may use a control ("C") form. However, it’s actually best not to use a form, unless your driver is in the field and does not have access to a fax machine. In those cases, simply apply for your permit through the Web, supplying the number on the form the driver has. When you receive the fax copy of your permit, just give the driver the permit number and issuing official to note on his form. NOTE: It is very important that you also pass along any changes to the permit information that may have been made by the permit office (Ex: route revisions). If you have already filled out the form, these changes should be made on the form itself and the issuing official’s initials noted beside each.

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.

A SURETY BOND must be posted with the Truck Permit Office to establish a permit charge account. The bonding insurance agency must execute the bond in the minimum amount of $1,000.00 or in increments of $1,000.00 to an amount equal to the customer's monthly billing. It is required that the original of the bond, a Power of Attorney for the principal and a Power of Attorney for the insurance company be furnished to the Truck Permit Office.

Customers who fail to pay the full invoice amount of a Charge Account within thirty (30) days of the billing date may have further charging privileges revoked and the Department may execute their Charge Account Bond.

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.

For additional information, please feel free to call (225) 377-7146.

All correspondence for Oversize/Overweight Permits should be mailed to the address below.
