Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
A multiple-trip construction equipment permit for movement of construction equipment shall be assigned to the individual unit. A unit may consist of self-propelled construction equipment, a motor vehicle towing tow-a-way construction equipment, or a motor vehicle which hauls construction equipment. For a unit hauling construction equipment, only one permit a unit is required to move any load on the unit provided that the unit's loaded dimensions do not exceed those listed on the permit and the loaded unit is not overweight.
Each overweight unit requires an individual permit. For an overweight unit hauling construction equipment, the permit is assigned to the unit and the piece of construction equipment being hauled. An overweight unit's axle spacings must match those listed on the permit and its axle weights must not exceed those listed on the permit. A permit purchased to allow an overweight unit to move when hauling a piece of construction equipment may also be used for the unit and any other load which is not overweight provided that the loaded unit does not exceed the dimensions listed on the permit.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
A multiple-trip construction equipment permit for an overweight unit may be issued only after route approval by the Department of Transportation, Division of Operations, or its designee. A multiple-trip permit for an overweight unit requires overweight route verification every 30 days. Verification shall be obtained by contacting the permit center. The permit center will issue a permit authorization number to the permit holder and the permit holder shall write the permit authorization number on the permit along with the current date to validate the multiple-trip permit for another 30 days of overweight movement.
Before making a move, the permit holder must inspect the proposed route of travel to verify that no width or height restrictions exist which will prohibit the proposed move. If the proposed route of travel cannot be inspected, the permit holder shall contact a permit-issuing authority to ensure that no prohibitive restrictions exist.

A permit-issuing authority may issue a single-trip permit or a permit holder may use a self-issuing single-trip permit which allows a permit vehicle to move to the nearest available public or private scale site for the purpose of determining whether a load is properly placed on the permit vehicle. The permit-issuing authority may not issue or validate a permit to move to a scale site until the proposed route has been approved by the permit center. Enforcement authorities may not take enforcement action against the permit vehicle or operator for permit vehicle weight violations in excess of that allowed by the permit if the permit was secured honestly. The permit is valid only for the permit vehicle's movement to the scale site.

A farm implement may be transported from the manufacturer if the implement is connected to the power unit by a ball hitch, gooseneck hitch, fifth wheel hitch, pintle hitch, or pin hitch. If two farm implements are being towed behind a power unit, the second implement may be hitched to the first implement directly or indirectly. The hitch connecting the second implement directly to the first implement must be a ball hitch, gooseneck hitch, fifth wheel hitch, pintle hitch, or pin hitch that is directly fastened to the frame of the first implement or which is directly fastened to the structure of the monocoqued construction of the first implement. If the second implement consists of a gooseneck trailer or semitrailer or a unit of similar design, it may be hitched indirectly to the first implement by a dolly. The dolly must be hitched to the first implement by a ball hitch, pintle hitch, or pin hitch that is directly fastened to the frame of the first implement or that is directly fastened to the structure of the monocoqued construction of the first implement. The second unit must be hitched to the dolly by a gooseneck hitch or fifth wheel. The dolly is considered part of the second implement and is not a unit in itself. If rated, the hitch must be rated for the load pulled by the hitch. In the case of the pin hitch, the pin must be made of steel, it must be no less than three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and it must be clipped or fastened securely.
