Oversize & overweight permit filing
Oversize and overweight
permits, filed right —
same day, any state.
Two years filing these permits daily means we know each state's portal, operating times, and quirks before they turn into your delay. Send your truck, trailer, and load details — we file directly with the state and the permit's back in your inbox, usually within hours.
The process
Three steps, same day.
You deal with one inbox instead of 48 state portals. Send your load details once; we file with every state on the route and send the permits back as they clear — usually the same day.
Tell us about your load
Email or message us your truck and trailer specs, load dimensions, origin, destination, and travel dates. We'll let you know if we need anything else.
We file directly with each state
We work through each state's DOT portal the same way an in-house permit specialist would — just without being on your payroll.
Permits arrive by email
We send everything over same day. If a state has travel restrictions or curfews relevant to your move, we'll flag those too.
Coverage
48 states. 48 rulebooks.
Permitting isn't one process — it's forty-eight, each with its own portal, limits, and gotchas. Here's what that actually means, and how we keep it off your plate.
Some states issue in minutes. Some take a day.
A few DOT portals approve instantly; others route every application through manual review. We tell you realistic timing the day you send the load — so "same day" means same day where it's possible, and a straight answer where it isn't.
Curfews and holidays void moves.
Plenty of states restrict oversize travel by time of day, day of week, or holiday. Miss one and your permit won't cover you. We flag every restriction that touches your route, on the permit, before you roll.
The hard states, already handled.
Pennsylvania, New York, California and a handful of others each carry their own wrinkles — extra registration, limited automation, longer lead times. We already work in them, so they don't become your delay.
One move, several states, no gaps.
On a multi-state haul we file each state in parallel and make sure the routes actually connect at the state lines — the exact place multi-state moves tend to fall apart.
Services
What we handle
We focus on what we know well.
Single Trip Permits
Our bread and butter. One-way or round trip, any state, any standard oversize configuration. We file, you roll.
Annual Permits
If you're running the same lanes regularly, annual blanket permits are usually worth it. We'll help you figure out which states make sense.
Multi-State Loads
Crossing several states on one move is where things get complicated fast. We handle each state simultaneously so nothing holds up your departure.
Overweight Permits
Axle weights, gross weights, bridge analyses — overweight permitting has a lot of moving parts. We're familiar with what each state needs.
Pricing
One rate. It drops as you run more.
No plans to choose between, no feature checklists — a flat per-permit fee that falls as your volume grows. State permit fees always pass straight through at cost.

We don't touch the state's fee
You pay the state exactly what they charge. Ours is listed separately.
Always the same team
No queue, no ticket — the people who file your permits are the ones who answer.
No money up front to start
New clients don't prepay. We file the permit, then invoice you.
Start with a single permit — nothing to sign, nothing to cancel.
For Fleets
Running serious volume?
If you're moving 25 or more permits a month, our rates drop and we can set up workflows that fit your dispatch team. Tell us a bit about your operation and we'll get back with a tailored proposal.
Volume pricing
Per-permit rates drop to $18 at 25+/month, with custom pricing for heavy volume. Real numbers, no haggling.
Direct line
You won't go through a queue. Send us your loads and we'll respond — the same team that handles your account every time.
Workflow fit
Use email, message, or a shared spreadsheet — whatever your dispatch team already uses. We work around your process.
Billing that fits
You're invoiced as permits issue — not in a murky monthly lump — so you always know what's outstanding. State fees are itemized and settled up front; net terms open up for established fleets once we've run steady volume together.
About
Who you'll
be working with.
We've spent years pulling oversize and overweight permits every day — single trips, multi-state corridors, annual blankets, overweight loads — inside a trucking company's permit desk before bringing that work to Stateline. We do it for carriers who'd rather hand it off than fight 48 different state portals themselves.
We know each state's rulebook because we're in it daily: size and weight limits, curfew windows, holiday and travel restrictions, bridge rules, and how every DOT portal actually behaves — which issue instantly, which sit in manual review, and where the daily cutoff times fall. When a state changes a form or tightens a process, we catch it fast, because we're filing in those systems every week.
When you send a load, you reach the people who actually file it. No ticket numbers, no script, no handoff to a rep who's never seen your equipment. You get straight answers, a team that remembers how you run, and a flag if your dimensions won't hold up — before you're on the road, not after.
If that's how you want your permits handled, send us a load. We'll come back with a price and a timeline before you commit to anything.
FAQ
Questions we hear a lot
If something you're wondering about isn't covered here, just ask. We'd rather answer than have you guess.
Most single-trip permits are issued the same business day, often within a few hours. Some states process instantly through their portals; others have manual review and can take longer. If you send us your load details before the state DOT cutoff time, you can usually plan to roll the same day or first thing the next morning.
Have a load that needs permitting? Send us the details and we'll take it from there.
If we can turn your load, we'll quote it on the spot. If not, we'll point you to someone who can.
