Utah Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight
A truck not apportioned for Utah needs two UDOT permits: Utah Temporary Registration and Temporary Fuel, each valid 96 hours in place of registration and fuel tax. At 26,000 lbs or less no registration permit is needed, and the fuel permit is void once the truck leaves Utah. Oversize and overweight loads need a permit from the UDOT Motor Carrier Division. Tell us the truck, load and route, and we file every Utah permit the trip needs.

Utah and its neighbors
How Utah permits differ from the states around it
A route from Arizona, Colorado or New Mexico meets different permit windows, heights and escort rules in Utah.
A longer window than Colorado
Utah's temporary registration and fuel permits each run 96 hours, the same as Arizona's trip permits. Colorado gives 72 hours on its laden weight permit, and New Mexico taxes by weight and distance.
Half a foot lower than Colorado
Utah and Arizona allow 14 ft of height without a permit. Colorado allows 14 ft 6 in, so a load legal there can need a height permit in Utah.
Pilot certificates both ways with Colorado
Utah accepts pilot certificates from other states when the course meets the national best-practices standard, and Colorado accepts Utah's. New Mexico wants escort vehicles certified there before entry.
Longer combinations on freeways
Utah runs doubles and triples up to 95 ft of cargo length on approved freeways with LCV authority. Arizona issues its Class E LCV permits only at the Page, St. George and Teec Nos Pos ports of entry.

FAQ
Utah permit questions
Which trucks need Utah's temporary registration and fuel permits?
Trucks not apportioned for Utah need both. A truck at 26,000 lbs or less needs no registration permit, only the fuel permit.
How long do Utah temporary registration and fuel permits last?
96 hours each. The fuel permit is void as soon as the truck leaves Utah, so a return trip after exit needs a new one. We buy them for your entry time.
Where can an oversize load enter Utah without its permit already issued?
Only at the St. George port on northbound I-15, Echo on westbound I-80 and Wendover on eastbound I-80. At every other crossing the UDOT permit has to be issued first.
Do doubles and triples get extra length in Utah?
Yes, with LCV authority: up to 95 ft of cargo length on approved freeway routes. Off those routes, standard doubles are limited to 61 ft.
Will your desk file the Utah temporary permits with my oversize permit?
Yes. One request covers the temporary registration and fuel permits, the UDOT oversize permit and the permits for the rest of your route, 24/7.
