New Jersey Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight
A truck not registered for New Jersey runs on an IRP trip permit, and a carrier outside IFTA on an IFTA fuel trip permit, both issued by the NJ MVC and sold through approved vendors. Oversize and overweight loads take a single-trip permit from NJDOT's Superload Program, one per one-way trip and valid five days. Tell us the truck, load and route, and we file every New Jersey permit the trip needs.

New Jersey and other states
How New Jersey permits differ from other states on your route
New Jersey set beside its neighbors Delaware and Pennsylvania.
First escort
New Jersey adds the first escort over 14 ft wide or 100 ft long. Delaware adds it sooner, over 13 ft wide or 90 ft long.
Holiday eves
New Jersey also closes the Friday before Memorial Day and Labor Day and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Delaware parks permitted loads on its holidays and the day after Thanksgiving, and lets them run on weekends.
Night moves
New Jersey allows no travel from sunset to sunrise without a waiver, which adds an escort. Delaware allows night moves Monday to Friday with prior approval for loads up to 12 ft wide.
Toll roads
The New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway each need their authority's approval on top of the NJDOT permit. The Pennsylvania Turnpike goes further and issues a permit of its own.

FAQ
New Jersey permit questions
Who issues the New Jersey IRP trip and IFTA fuel trip permits?
The NJ MVC, through approved vendors. We order both for you when the truck is not registered for New Jersey or the carrier is not in IFTA.
Is one New Jersey oversize permit enough for the trip back?
No. NJDOT issues one single-trip permit per one-way trip, valid five days, so the return run takes its own permit.
Which New Jersey roads need approval beyond the NJDOT permit?
The New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, approved by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, and the Atlantic City Expressway, approved by the South Jersey Transportation Authority.
Can a New Jersey oversize permit be extended?
By one day, for hazardous road conditions or a breakdown, if the extension is requested before the permit expires.
Will you file my New Jersey trip, fuel and oversize permits together?
Yes. Send the truck, load and route once; our permit desk orders the MVC trip and fuel permits, files the NJDOT permit and covers the other states on the trip, around the clock.
