Oregon Truck Permits trip, weight-mile & over-dimension
A truck without Oregon on its cab card runs on a 10-day trip permit, and over 26,000 lbs it also needs a weight-mile temporary pass, Oregon's replacement for fuel tax. ODOT's Commerce and Compliance Division handles both, along with over-dimension permits in ORION. Tell us the truck, load and route, and our permit desk files every credential Oregon needs.

Oregon and its neighbors
How Oregon permits differ from the states around it
A route from Washington, Idaho, California or Nevada meets a different tax system at the Oregon line.
Weight-mile tax instead of fuel tax
Oregon has taxed heavy trucks by weight and miles since 1947. Over 26,000 lbs a truck pays weight-mile tax in Oregon, and fuel tax through IFTA only outside the state.
No fuel trip permit
Washington sells a 3-day special fuel trip permit; Oregon sells none. A carrier without an Oregon account buys a temporary pass priced by its Oregon miles.
Longer trip permits
Oregon's trip permit runs 10 days. Washington's lasts 3 days, three per truck in 30 days, and Idaho sells a 120-hour one.
One division for everything
ODOT's Commerce and Compliance Division issues over-dimension permits, trip permits and weight-mile credentials. In Washington, oversize goes through WSDOT and trip and fuel permits are Department of Licensing permits.

FAQ
Oregon permit questions
What permits does a truck need to run in Oregon?
A truck with Oregon on its cab card and an Oregon weight-mile account needs neither. Without them it needs a 10-day trip permit and, over 26,000 lbs, a temporary pass. A load over 8 ft 6 in wide or 14 ft high also needs an over-dimension permit.
Where do Oregon over-dimension permits come from?
From ODOT's Over-Dimension Permit Unit through ORION, its online permit system, after the carrier sets up a Commerce and Compliance account. Ports of entry do not sell permits.
How heavy can a truck run in Oregon with a permit?
Divisible loads up to 105,500 lbs gross under an extended weight permit, and non-divisible loads up to 98,000 lbs under an annual continuous operation permit. Heavier non-divisible moves need a single-trip permit.
When does a tall load need a pilot car in Oregon?
Over 14 ft high a load needs a permit, and over 14 ft 6 in it needs a pilot car with a height pole, unless the carrier has a signed declaration on file with ODOT.
Can Route One GO handle Oregon and the other states on my route?
