How much is an oversize permit in Pennsylvania?

3, 2021, the PA Turnpike Commission implemented a Special Hauling Permit Fee for overweight/overdimensional vehicles across the system. Operators of these vehicles must apply for a Special Hauling Permit and pay a $37 flat fee along with an additional 24 cent-per-ton-mile fee on all weight in excess of 80,000 pounds.

Can you run oversize at night in PA?

If a load is over 10 feet wide and/or 85 feet long, weekend travel is explicitly prohibited. In urban Pennsylvania areas, travel is allowed all days of the week from 9-4 pm and 7 pm-sunset, as well as 3-7:30 am . However, specific lighting and additional pilot cars may be required.

What is the widest load without a permit?

The California Vehicle Code requires an oversize load permit for any load exceeding legal weight or dimensions. That would be loads exceeding 14' high (Section 35250), 8'6" wide (Section 35100), 40' long (single), 65' (truck/trailer), 75' (multi trailers) (Section 35400 & 35401), or 20,000 lbs/axle (Section 35550).

Oversize Load Limits in Pennsylvania Width: 8′ 6 feet. Height: 13′ 6 feet. Weight: 80,000 lbs GVW. Overhang: 4′ in the front and 6′ off the rear.

How wide can you haul without a permit in PA?

As such, you will need to seek an alternate access point from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. **Note: Vehicles between 8'6” wide and 10' wide do not require a permit, but must follow time of day travel restrictions.

HOW TO COMPLETE GENERAL APPLICATION FORM M-936A

Completing PA Permit Application Form M-936A

Following are detailed instructions for completing a Permit Application (Form M-936A). All fields underscored with solid lines must be completed. All fields underscored with dashed lines should be completed where applicable if information is known (e.g., from this guide or a recent similar permit). If any information is incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent, the application will be denied, so be sure to review each application for completeness, accuracy and consistency before submitting it to

PENNDOT.

PREVIOUS PERMIT NO.: Complete only if a previous permit was issued within the past 30 days and is similar (particularly the routing) to the application being submitted.

APPLICATION ID: PENNDOT will assign the Application ID upon processing of the application data. This number should be used to identify any application processed by the Department.

TYPE PERMIT REQUESTED: Indicate the type of permit being requested by checking each applicable box and completing each applicable blank.

PERMIT OFFICE: 3-digit number (e.g., 070). List the Permit Office organization number where application is being submitted (e.g., where movement on State Routes in PA starts or ends).

ACCOUNT NO.: List the 6-digit account number under which the applicant is registered with the Central Permit Office (see Department Regulation 179.4). If applicant is not registered, enter N/A.

❏Unregistered applicants must apply in person or by mail and must include an Insurance Certificate (see “INSURANCE” below) and a certified check, cashier’s check or money order with their application. To obtain an account number to apply online, visit our web site at www.penndot.gov>Doing-Business>Permits>Hauling Information for hauling account registration forms. Online applications are processed faster than any other application method. All applicants are encouraged to apply via APRAS WEB.

FEIN/SSN: List the FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) of the Responsible Motor Carrier. If an applicant is self- employed, has no FEIN, and has no contract with a responsible motor carrier, list the Social Security Number. The FEIN must always be the Responsible Motor Carrier’s FEIN (do not use the FEIN or social security number of a Permit Service).

BILL CODE: List 1-digit code from the menu below:

1 = Unregistered applicants. Before a permit can be issued under this Bill Code, a payment must be received in the correct amount. The Permit Fee will be determined at the time of issuance. Therefore, applicants paying any ton-mile fees with a certified check, cashier’s check or money order are encouraged to wait until the permit is approved before obtaining the certified check, cashier’s check or money order. Provide the Check Number(s) in the space(s) provided. Cash is not acceptable.

3 = Registered applicants. Account # must be entered. PENNDOT’s Central Office will invoice each account monthly. 4 = Governmental.

NAME: List complete name of the responsible motor carrier (e.g., owner, lessee or sub-lessee of a motor vehicle - not the owner of the load, any drawn vehicle or any other person).

STREET: List applicant’s complete street address or P.O. Box.

CITY/STATE/ZIP CODE: List applicant’s municipality, State and Zip Code.

PERMIT FEE: The Permit Fee will be determined at the time of issuance. The permit fee is the sum of the issuance fee and any ton-mile, escort or other established fees (e.g., $1 wire fee). See reverse of Form M-936A for the formula used to compute ton-mile fees. Permit issuance fees are non-refundable and mileage-based fees are non-refundable on used Permits.

GROSS WEIGHT: List total combined weight of the vehicle or combination and nondivisible load, in pounds. Gross Weight must be equal to the sum of all stated axle weights.

If Gross Weight exceeds either 136,000 pounds or Department Regulation 179, Table 8-1 combination general gross weight limits, applicants must also submit a Supplemental Application, Form M-936AS.

LEGAL WEIGHT: List Registered Gross Weight (in pounds) as it appears on the motor vehicle registration (i.e., owner’s) card. The maximum registered Gross Weight in PA is 80,000 pounds for combinations.

If requested, the applicant will need to provide details on Form M-936AM on the sizes of each load whenever more than ONE load is identified on the application (e.g., boats, beams, empty tanks), to help Permit Office staff to decide whether the additional articles constitute an oversize/overweight divisible load.

Serial Id: List at least the last six digits of the load serial number, if there is any load. In the rare event that a serial number has

less than six digits, use leading zero(s). If the load has no serial number, list the load bill of lading number (e.g., BOL#: 013579

or WO#: 024680) for each article being transported. If there is no bill of lading number or other shipping document, list hand- painted 6-digit identification number of the load. For example, list serial number for modular unit section or unregistered vehicle being hauled (e.g., 12345A) and the bill of lading number for steel plates.

NOTE: Use the Load Type Code having the lowest numerical value if more than one Code is applicable.

Description: List description of load. (e.g., crane, backhoe and transformer).

VEHICLE INFORMATION:

Vehicle #: List each vehicle in sequential order. For example: a combination consisting of a truck tractor (vehicle #1), a jeep dolly (vehicle #2) and a semi-trailer (vehicle #3) requires three separate lines of vehicle information.

Equipment Type: For each vehicle, list the type of the vehicle (For example, the first vehicle would be a truck, a truck tractor or an SME. The second vehicle would typically be a semi-trailer, a trailer or a jeep dolly.)

Plate#/VIN #: For each vehicle, list the license plate number. List last six digits of the VIN-serial number only if the vehicle is exempt from registration in PA under Section 1302 of the Vehicle Code (e.g., oversize special mobile equipment, mobile home or oversize trailer).

State: For each vehicle, list the State in which licensed. If the vehicle is unlicensed, enter N/A.

#Axles: For each vehicle, list the total number of axles (including the steering axle).

An axle is defined as “load-bearing” wheels in a transverse line across the full width of a vehicle. Thus, a “lift-axle” that is not bearing weight is not an axle.

A single axle is “any axle located over 8 feet (2.438 meters) from another axle” or located less than 40 inches (1.016 meters) from another axle (Federal interpretation). “Split-axle” configurations are still single axles by definition and, therefore, do not qualify as tandem axles for additional weight. “Slightly offset axle” configurations that are located less than 40 inches (1.016 meters) from another axle are still single axles by definition and, therefore, do not qualify as tandem axles for additional weight. By definition, an axle group is “a group of axles in which every axle is located within 8 feet (2.438 meters) of another axle”.

Tracked vehicles are not authorized to travel along the highway. A permit will not be issued for a vehicle with other than pneumatic tires to operate along the highway.

TOTAL AXLE WEIGHTS: List each axle weight (front to rear) of vehicle or combination. Sum of all axle weights must equal stated Gross Weight.

If any axle weight exceeds 27,000 pounds or Department Regulation 179, Table 8-2 combination axle weight limits, applicant must also submit a Supplemental Application, Form M-936AS.

In the rare event that a combination has more than nine axles and Form M-936AS is not being submitted, continue the axle information on Form M-936AM.

AXLE DISTANCES: List the actual distances, in feet and inches, from the center of each axle to the center of the previous adjacent axle (front to rear).

ORIGIN INFORMATION:

County: List the county within which movement upon a PA State highway starts.

State: List PA if beginning within PA. List the bordering state if movement begins outside PA. List PA Turnpike if movement begins in PA on the PA Turnpike.

ROUTE NO(S): List all proposed routes (and direction of travel) upon which the movement may traverse. To request a return trip, include proposed return routes on Form M-936AM.

Use the most direct limited access highways wherever possible, then multi-lane numbered traffic routes, then two-lane numbered traffic routes, using 4-digit “quad” SR (State Route) numbers (e.g., SR 2001) only when necessary with consideration given to vehicle weights, dimensions, turning capabilities, construction projects, condition of pavements and bridges, horizontal and vertical curves, highway grades, intersection turning radii, railroad crossings and other highway features. Permitted vehicles/loads will not be routed from point “A” to point “B” (e.g., drop-off) and continue to point “C” under one single-trip permit.

List 4-digit “quad” SR (State Route) numbers only (e.g., SR1234) when there is no traffic route number.

List interim non-PA State Routes such as a Turnpike “gate number”, a local road and other non-PA State roads in [parentheses] to provide continuity of routing between authorized State Routes. Do not use parentheses in the route section for anything other than routes that are not PA State highways (e.g., use (parentheses) around bridges or highways owned by cities, counties, townships, the Turnpike, railroads or another state). For example, do not show an SR exit number in parentheses. List SR exit numbers in “quotes.”

Permission must be obtained from local authorities for the use of all local roads and streets, which are listed in [brackets] on the permit.

Unless otherwise provided in the law or Department Regulation 179, a permit shall be valid only for a single trip in one direction between the two points designated. The permit does not authorize a return trip unless requested (on Form M-936AM) and specifically indicated on the permit.

The Department may authorize scheduled detours off a limited access highway of up to 1 mile (total) for service or rest, when requested on the application and specifically indicated on the permit. For example: I‑83 N, I-81 N, “Exit 27” TR39 W, 0.5 mile & return, I-81 N. See Department Regulation 179.10(9).

Consistent with Section 6104 of the Vehicle Code, Permit Office staff may request a route survey (See Form M‑936ARS) from applicants certifying that routes have been surveyed for excessively oversize movements, including:

❏Super Loads (required);

❏16 foot wide manufactured housing units on non-limited access highways;

❏Bridge vertical clearance disputes;
