getting my feet wet in heavy haul

Mi. will make you raise your weights prior be fore getting a overweight permit.
When your plate renewal time comes, take the trk. or trks. that you believe will be pulling that trl. and bump their weight up then.
I am plated for 134 in Ia. Got a load where I had more on the steer and they made me raise the weight to 135.
I also got weight for Wy. Mt. and some other states to avoid the extra costs.
Ok. states you need to be plated for 90k if over that with a weight ld. They do check also.
Alot will depend on where you will mainly be running.
If running Tn. alot, buy an annual. 1k. But it will pay for itself in time.

 

what are you axle spacings for the trl. and how long is your inner bridge going to be?
That can and will come into play for getting your permits also

 

Some states over a certain weight you need to order through a service. Md. if over 120 and needing a city permit for Baltimore, I believe has to go through a service, but you permit person can get ahold of the permit company. Do you have Kim's number for the city of Baltimore. She can explain it to you. Plus over 120. then you need a pilot for weight. More costs

 

Cpape,

In OK you must be registered for 90k in order to permit for weight. OK required me to provide a copy of my IRP last year when I wrote my permit for 103k.

I just requested a change in my registered weight for IA for 140k as they will only permit upto your registered weight.

I also registered in KS 85560 and NE 94000 which I was told were the max.

Yes, they will require proof of the plate weight. Like Rontonio stated. they will ask for a copy of the reg.
Plus Ok. kinda gets testy on axle spacings more than others.
Check on blanket permits. I believe you have them for Ia. Then also Sd. Nd. Co. Ks. plus Ga. and Fl.
Depends on your runing area. These permits can save time and money in a years time..
Plus some you can swap trk to trk. Others you can't

 

OK would not issue me for requested weight until I had the registration change completed and on my cab card from CO. The IA caught me off guard and it took Colorado 2 days to re-issue my cab card - so I had to sit. The change for me was not a significant cost as I don't run that many miles in IA.

I actually I am waiting on CO to transfer my plate from my old truck to my new one right now.

 

I register for the maximum available weight in every state.

 

As Carl said on OK axle spacings, on the OK website there are drawings showing min axle spacings for various configurations from 5 to 13 axle along with the allowable permit weight max. The state you should study is OH, they use a complicated (at least for me) bridge formula and it would seem your guys would be running through there regularly.
