Route Inspection Application

You must apply for a Route Inspection if one or more of the following conditions exists:

• The loaded width exceeds 20 feet at the widest points

• The loaded height exceeds 18 feet 11 inches from the roadbed to the highest point

• The loaded length exceeds 125 feet including the truck and trailer

Prior to obtaining a Route Inspection, an applicant must:

• Comply with TxDMV Motor Carrier Registration Requirements, or

• Comply with federal Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), or

• File a surety bond in the amount of $10,000 with TxDMV (Form 439).

Instructions for completing the Route Inspection process

Submittal Options:

• Applicant may submit request by fax to the Motor Carrier Division (MCD), on Form MCD-306a, to 512/465-4254, or

may enter information into the Texas Permitting and Routing Optimization System (TxPROS). (See TxPROS process

below.)

Application Requirements:

• Please submit Route Inspection Applications 3-5 days in advance to the requested movement date.

• State exact dimensions and weight of the commodity loaded, including truck and trailer.

• State specific state-maintained highway intersections for beginning and ending junctions.

• Provide a valid payment method: American Express, Discover, Master Card, Visa, First Pay (Frost Bank), and Escrow. A

service charge of 25 cents per permit plus 2.25 percent of the total fee amount will be added to all credit card

transactions.

• Loads 200,000 pounds and above must provide a Shipper's Certificate of Weight (Form 2280). Texas Transportation

Code, Section 623.274, and Texas Administrative Code, Title 43, Chapter 219, Subchapter F, state that for a shipper's

certificate of weight to be valid, the shipper must certify the weights and deliver a shipper's certificate of weight to

the motor carrier before the carrier applies for an overweight permit. Note: Companies moving their own

construction equipment must also complete a Shipper's Certificate of Weight (Form 2280) to be submitted with Form

MCD-306a.

• A company representative must physically inspect the proposed route to ensure the safety of the load, traveling

public, and the state infrastructure. A company representative must sign and date the route inspection proposal after

the route has been physically inspected.

TxPROS Process:

• Applicant may enter information into TxPROS at TxPROS.TxDMV.gov.

• If route is acceptable, sign and fax the route inspection to 512/465-4254 or email to MCD_Permit-Route-

[email protected] and wait for approval. Applicant will be notified that the route inspection is approved and may

issue permit.

• If route is not acceptable, check the "I have a problem with the route" box for assistance. Once a TxDMV-assisted route is

accepted by applicant, sign and fax the route inspection to 512/465-4254 or email to MCD_Permit-Route-

[email protected] and wait for approval. Applicant will be notified that the route inspection is approved and may

issue permit.

Motor Carrier Division Responsibilities:

• MCD will select a tentative route. Please allow enough time for the route inspection process to be properly completed.

• MCD will contact the carrier if the application is incomplete. If contact cannot be made, applicant will receive a rejection

notice from MCD.

• MCD will send a copy of the issued permit to the appropriate districts.

Note: Incomplete application will not be processed and will be returned and/or deleted.
