Instead of obtaining an annual license and paying the quarterly tax imposed, you may be issued a 5-day trip permit from a permit service. The 5-day trip permit authorizes the carrier to operate a commercial motor carrier in or through Indiana for a period of five consecutive days.
Note: 5-day trip permits are issued only by permit services, with a fee of $50 plus any permit service charges.
What if I travel through Indiana only occasionally?
In lieu of the permanent registration credentials, an Indiana IRP 3-day trip permit is required for all out-of-state carriers who are properly registered and insured in their base states, but who have not apportioned for Indiana and wish to drive in or through the state of Indiana.
The permit must be secured prior to entry and must remain with the vehicle while in the state. Refunds or credit cannot be given for unused permits.
Prices may vary if issued through a wire service. Certain requirements must be met prior to the issuance of a 3-day trip permit. Visit the MCS at www.in.gov/dor/4106.htm for the complete listing of fees.
Violations of size and weight limitations by operation of a vehicle or combination of vehicles or a garbage truck are a continuing offense. The venue for prosecution is in a county in which the unlawful operation occurred. Once a conviction or acquittal occurs in one county, a prosecution may not be brought in another county.
All violations under IC 9-20 except for weight violations of 5,000 pounds or more are Class C Infractions and, in addition to a fine, the Court may suspend the vehicle registration for a period not to exceed 90 days. There is an exception from conviction applicable to all highways except interstate highways if the weight violation is less than 1,000 pounds.
The operator may not be held accountable if he can show he could not reasonably have known the actual weight of the load or did not have access to or control of the loading of an over weighted load.
Weight violations greater than 5,000 pounds but less than 10,000 pounds are Class B Infractions.
If the weight violation exceeds 10,000 pounds, the violation is a Class A Infraction.
In all weight violation cases, the Court may recommend a chauffeur’s license suspension if the violation was committed knowingly.
Infraction Penalty Range: Fine range from $1 to $10,000 and suspend vehicle registration from 1 to 90 days.
Oversize vehicles pay a fine of one hundred and eighty nine dollars ($189)
