PERMIT FEES The annual registration fee for Special Weight Vehicles is $25.00 per company. The Trip Authorizations are $42.50 per movement and are paid either at the time the permit is requested, or on a quarterly basis. See the instructions for Section C if you are interested in quarterly payment provisions. Otherwise, you must pay for permits at the time the permit is requested. PENALTIES If a person is apprehended operating a vehicle(s) with an excess weight, the vehicle(s) may be detained, pending compliance, and a bond may have to be posted until all fines and costs are paid. Repeated violations may result in suspension from the use of the highways, and revocation of other licenses, certificates, and operating privileges.
