Disclaimer

Independence, accuracy, and how our fees differ from government fees.

Independence disclosure

DOT-Permits.com is an independent commercial information and referral service. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Transportation, FMCSA, or any state DOT.

Accuracy disclaimer

Permit requirements, fees, routing rules, and processing times change frequently and vary by state, route, load, and season. Information on this site is general in nature, may not be current, and is not legal or regulatory advice. Always confirm details with the issuing state agency before moving a load.

Fee disclosure

Any service fee we or a partner provider charge is separate from, and in addition to, government permit fees, taxes, and filing fees charged by state or federal agencies.

No government affiliation or endorsement

Nothing on this site should be read as an endorsement by, or affiliation with, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, any state department of transportation or motor vehicles, or any other public agency. Agency names are used only to describe which agency handles a given requirement.

You can file directly

Every permit, registration, and filing described on this site can be obtained directly from the responsible government agency, typically for the government fee alone. Using a commercial service is optional and is a convenience, not a requirement.

No guarantee of outcome

We cannot guarantee that any permit will be issued, that a particular route will be approved, or that processing will finish by a given date. State review, routing analysis, escort availability, and weather can all affect timing.

Verify before you move

Confirm current requirements, dimensions, restrictions, and fees with the issuing agency before dispatching a load. Official government resources are linked throughout this site and labeled as such.
