Oklahoma Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight
A truck without Oklahoma registration or a fuel license runs on the Corporation Commission's 72-hour trip and 120-hour fuel permits. Oversize and overweight loads need a separate permit from ODOT. Tell us the truck, load and route, and our permit desk files every permit Oklahoma needs with both agencies.

How Oklahoma permits differ from the states around it
A route from Texas, Kansas, Arkansas or Missouri changes agencies and limits at the Oklahoma line.
Heavier off the interstate
Oklahoma allows up to 90,000 lbs gross on state highways off the interstate before an overweight permit is needed, within the bridge formula. Texas holds 80,000 lbs on every road.
Escorts start at 12 ft wide
Oklahoma asks for an escort above 12 ft wide. Texas starts above 14 ft, so a 13 ft load that runs alone in Texas picks up an escort at the Oklahoma line.
Two agencies, not one
ODOT issues oversize and overweight permits; the Corporation Commission sells trip and fuel permits. In Texas, TxDMV issues both oversize and trip permits.
One permit per state again
Oklahoma was part of the Western Regional Permit until WASHTO ended it on December 31, 2018. A route through Texas or Kansas now needs each state's permit, filed together.

FAQ
Oklahoma permit questions
What permits does a truck need to run in Oklahoma?
A truck with Oklahoma on its IRP cab card and an IFTA license needs neither trip nor fuel permit. Without them it needs the OCC's 72-hour trip permit and 120-hour fuel permit. A load over the legal size or weight also needs an ODOT oversize or overweight permit.
How long is an Oklahoma trip permit good for?
The registration trip permit runs 72 hours and the fuel permit 120 hours. Both can start up to 72 hours after purchase, so you can buy them before the truck reaches the state line. They are not refundable.
What is an unladen permit in Oklahoma?
A permit for a driver whose lease ended and whose carrier kept the plate and cab card. It gives 45 days to move the empty truck and is recognized in the lower 48 states; a fuel permit is still required.
Do I go to ODOT or the Corporation Commission for my permit?
It depends on the permit. Oversize and overweight permits come from ODOT through its OkiePROS system; trip, fuel and unladen permits come from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. We file with both, so you send one request.
Can Route One GO handle Oklahoma and the other states on my route?
Yes. Send the load and route once, and our permit desk files with ODOT, the OCC and every other state you cross. Requests are taken 24/7.
