Annual Permits
Many states offer an annual or 'blanket' oversize/overweight permit for carriers running the same configuration repeatedly, instead of requiring a fresh single-trip application every time.
For carriers running the same oversize or overweight configuration repeatedly, we secure the annual blanket permit that covers it — so the same paperwork isn't filed fresh on every single trip.
Meaningfully less administrative overhead for carriers running predictable, repeat oversize freight.
- 01Confirm the load configuration qualifies for an annual/blanket permit in the relevant states.
- 02Submit the annual permit application with vehicle-specific details.
- 03Track the renewal date so coverage doesn't lapse.
- 04Confirm the permit's route and dimension limits before each trip.
Not every state offers this — and the terms vary
Annual permits are typically available for loads within a defined dimension/weight band, and the specific thresholds, cost, and renewal cycle vary by state. Some states cap annual permits at certain widths or weights and require single-trip permits above that threshold, so qualifying correctly matters as much as applying.
Where the administrative savings actually come from
Industry cost comparisons commonly put the break-even point for an annual permit somewhere around 6 to 10 trips a year versus paying for single-trip permits each time — below that, a single-trip permit is usually still the more economical choice. The value of an annual permit is entirely in repetition, which is why qualifying the load configuration correctly matters as much as applying.
