Permit route and out of route question.

Not that far.

 

From IDOT Website.....

ASSIGNED PERMITTED ROUTE: The assigned permit route includes a distance of one mile onto another contiguous state jurisdiction highway provided that no structures are crossed, no posted weight limits are exceeded, overdimensional moves are not obstructed, all other provisions of the permit are followed and the route is used for any of the following reasons: 1) To obtain fuel or repair. 2) To provide for food or rest for the driver. 3) To allow for a legal return to a permitted route after mistakenly going off the route. 4) To comply with regulatory signs to weigh.

I don't know anywhere to drop safely/secure around 294/55....

 

You can't go off route at all. I would have to read the IL rules some states will let you get off the interstate but most won't. Several states you have to get a local permit just to get fuel. Do yourself a favor and look up the local regs.

Well there you go. 1 mile.

 

Rest area off of i80. About 5 miles away from i55.

Edit - nvm read ur last post

 

You could get a annual, but I would ask the dealer about having the company that delivers their parts bring it to you. Lots of small courier company's in that area.

 

Local repair shop uses local taxis to pu and deliver parts.

 

I don't know what part of 294 your on but I think the 1st toll booth maybe the 2nd one, you can park there….just tell them you need to run and get a part for your truck..there is parking for about 10 trucks there….

 

But by going thru that tollbooth he would have to buy a toll road permit.$35.00 if just wide.
