Indiana Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight

A truck not apportioned for Indiana needs the 3-day IRP trip permit before entry, and without IFTA the 5-day fuel permit, sold only through permit services. Oversize and overweight permits come from the same Department of Revenue's Motor Carrier Services, and since February 2025 running without a required permit brings civil penalties. Tell us the truck, load and route, and we file every Indiana permit before the truck crosses the line.

Indiana and its neighbors

How Indiana permits differ from the states around it

Indiana sets truck access by the line a load enters from: Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio or Michigan.

  1. Revenue, not the DOT

    Indiana's oversize permits come from its Department of Revenue. In Ohio and Illinois they come from the state DOT.

  2. A five-day fuel permit

    Indiana's IFTA trip permit runs five consecutive days. Ohio's fuel permit runs 24 hours, up to four in a row.

  3. Michigan weights in the steel corridor

    Like northwest Ohio, northwest Indiana allows Michigan-style heavy loads: up to 134,000 lbs on its extra heavy duty highways.

  4. A toll road with its own permit

    The Indiana Toll Road, like the Ohio Turnpike next door, sets its own limits and permit on top of the state's.

FAQ

Indiana permit questions

Which Indiana permits does an out-of-state truck need?

Without Indiana on its apportioned registration, a 3-day IRP trip permit secured before entry; without IFTA, a 5-day fuel permit. Anything over 8 ft 6 in wide, 13 ft 6 in high or 80,000 lbs also needs an oversize or overweight permit.

Where do I buy an Indiana 5-day fuel permit?

Only through permit services: Indiana does not sell it directly. It covers five consecutive days of operation without an IFTA license. We file it with the trip permit.

What happens if a truck runs in Indiana without a required permit?

Since February 14, 2025 Indiana law sets civil penalties for operating without a required permit, so the permits should be in place before the truck enters the state.

Is the Indiana Toll Road covered by a state oversize permit?

Only within the Toll Road's limits. From 12 ft wide, 14 ft 6 in high or over 90,000 lbs the Toll Road's special hauling permit applies, and 90-day or annual oversize permits are not valid there.

Can you file Indiana and the rest of my route in one order?

Yes. Send us the truck, load and full route; our permit desk files Indiana with Motor Carrier Services and the Toll Road, plus every other state on the way, around the clock.
