Oregon Trucking Permit

Trip Permits (Temporary)

Trip permits allow unregistered or out-of-state vehicles to legally operate in Oregon for a short period. They are ideal for trucks or trailers not registered in Oregon that need to complete a specific trip.

Heavy Motor Vehicle Trip Permit — typically valid 10 days. For trucks over 10,000 lbs or 3+ axles.
Trailer Trip Permit — used for unregistered trailers, usually valid 10 days.
Light Vehicle / RV — short-term permits for lighter vehicles; check limits and validities.

We check vehicle data and generate the correct permit form for ODOT or guide you to file it directly online.

Weight-Mile / Fuel Temporary Tax Pass

Vehicles that operate in Oregon and exceed 26,000 lbs are subject to Oregon's weight-mile tax. If a carrier is not enrolled, a temporary tax pass (weight-mile pass) can be purchased for short operations.

Temporary Tax Pass — valid for a limited number of days or miles; includes a processing fee plus the per-mile tax.
Enrollment — fleets operating regularly should enroll in the Weight-Mile Tax Program for best rates and reporting.
Limits & Fees — passes often have quantity limits per vehicle/account per year.

We can calculate estimated weight-mile costs and help you purchase short-term passes or advise on enrollment options.

Oversize / Overweight Permits

Oversize and overweight permits are required for vehicles and loads that exceed legal length, width, height, or weight limits. Routes, escorts, and time-of-day restrictions may apply.

Route review — ODOT may require a permitted route to avoid bridges or restricted roads.
Escorts & restrictions — some moves need pilot cars, police escorts, or daylight-only movement.
Multi-state moves — we can coordinate permits across states when needed.

Provide load dimensions and origin/destination and we’ll prepare the permit application with required route and escort notes.
