If any driver has to deliver in Washington,DC. Make sure you get a 53ft trailer permit from permits or safety. It's a $250.00 ticket.

Totally, Craig. I don't have to pay it. The shipper is responsible for this ticket,got lucky on that.

**marquardt72** · 08.22.2011

I was going to ask, and still asking, "Who is responsible for the permit for a 53 foot trailer?? How would you know of there and any other places that you would need any special permits??

Thank you

Bottom line ,.we as drivers are responsible for " the knowing" ,lol. Usually the shipper is suppose to have it under "order comments". If you are not sure before entering a major city always call permits. I use Google, then call permits. Hope this helps.
