Commercial Vehicle Permit

Vehicles over legal dimensions and/or weight need a permit before entering the state or moving within the state. Learn how to get a permit to move oversized and overweight loads on state highway systems.

Determine If You Need a Permit

You need a permit if you exceed legal dimensions or weight. Permits are only issued to transport loads that cannot be divided. If the load or any part of the load can be reasonably reduced, it must be reduced, and you will not be granted a permit. Legal dimensions are:

  • 8’6” wide, 14’ tall, 53’ length (tractor/trailer)
  • 40’ single unit
  • 75’ overall with a truck and trailer
  • 3’ of front overhang and 15’ of rear overhang.

If you have a heavy load, use the legal weight chart to determine if you need a permit for weight. A set of three overlapping criteria determines the Gross vehicle weight (GVW) for a vehicle or vehicle combination: tire size, axle weight, and the weight table. Calculate your overweight permit fees with our calculator.

This allows 40,000 pounds for single vehicle and 80,000 pounds for combination vehicles. No more than three permits are allowed in a 30 day period. Trip permits cannot be used in lieu of tonnage for a vehicle currently licensed in Washington, but can be used to increase current valid tonnage.

A fuel permit is required upon entering the State of Washington if the vehicle is diesel powered and over 26,000 pounds.
