Size, Weight, & Motor Carrier Permitting

Effective Immediately: Overweight/Oversize Loads utilizing dual lane trailers (axle widths in excess of 10 feet wide) that do not pass bridge validation require clearance from the UDOT Structures Division. Depending upon the length of the route and the number of structures crossed, this clearance could take at least 14 days or longer, and should be applied for prior to purchasing your permit.
Structures approvals are currently single trip only. Carriers utilizing the same configurations/equipment will still need to get their permit verified by UDOT Structures Division to verify that it has not changed and to check that there hasn’t been any changes in the condition of the bridges since the prior move. The approval process on re-used configurations/equipment should be more streamlined than the first clearance. More information on this process and assistance using the online bridging calculator may be obtained by calling Motor Carrier Customer Service at 801-965-4892.
