Virginia Truck Permits for trip, fuel, oversize & overweight

A truck without Virginia on its apportioned registration needs the 10-day IRP trip permit, and without IFTA an IFTA fuel trip permit; Virginia DMV also sells the two combined in one permit. Oversize and overweight permits come from the same DMV's Hauling Permits Section through EZ Haul, after VDOT reviews the route. Tell us the truck, load and route, and we file every Virginia permit the trip needs.
