can anyone give me a ballpark figure for permits on a slightly wide load (109") from Baltimore, MD to Flagstaff, AZ ? Or how do you guys figure it when you give somebody a rate on a permitted load ?

Have to know the route first, are you going with a permit company or trying to order from states direct where permissible?
Mileage times 1.25 per mile if bidding on a load is my number to include in the rate. -
I-70 to St. Louis, I-44 to OKC, I-40 to Flagstaff. 2200 X 1.25 = $2750 ? I was figuring $50-$80 per state or $500 - $800. On this run I'll probably have fleetone order the permits, since there is so many to get. They charge $25 per, so $250 to pay them.

Sounds about the going price, if you are a O/O may want to factor in your time and efforts for ordering and receiving cost of the permits.
Not trying to tell you how to do it or anything but just a thought.dannythetrucker Thanks this. -
Forgot to ad something also, you will not be able to run in the dark so having less daylight hours for driving you will have a loss also. Not sure on your driving speed but as a rule of thumb speed limits on your permits may be imposed as well depending on the permit, also if you intend on any stops in Pa, Wv or Ohio make sure you get that on the state permits since they are finding a new revenue stream with people going off route as they put it.
dannythetrucker Thanks this. -
thanks, yah, I heard people are getting tickets for stopping at truckstops without listing it on the permit. That's crazy !! I guess I will have to add the cost of a couple catheter's to the bill as well if they really expect me to never pull off unless it's on the permit !
-
LOL well from what I heard, sea story only mind you that rest areas are ok just taking ramps off the route will get you a ticket maybe. know a few people I have talked to from all across the U.S. say the drivers are getting tickets for off route if it is not on the permits.

don't order NM or AZ through the permit service, buy them atbthe port for each state NM $25 and AZ $15 for oversize only. Save the $50
dannythetrucker and aiwiron Thank this. -
TX is most likely the most expensive @ $60
dannythetrucker Thanks this. -
I add $100 for each state I will run in for that load...
dannythetrucker Thanks this.
