South Dakota Administrative Rules › Title 70 - Department of Transportation › Article 70:03 - Oversize, Overweight Vehicles › Chapter 70:03:01 - Movement of oversize or overweight vehicles › Section 70:03:01:02 - Single-trip permit - Procedures - Fees

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
A permit-issuing authority may issue an individual single-trip permit or a book of 10 self-issuing single-trip permits that allow movement on state trunk highways of a vehicle that consists of one or more units and exceeds the size, weight, or size and weight limits in SDCL chapter 32-22.
The permit fee for an individual single-trip permit is $25. The fee for a book of 10 self-issuing single-trip permits is $250. An overweight vehicle shall be charged an additional fee of two cents for each ton or fraction of a ton that its gross weight exceeds the following weight limits, for each mile traveled on state trunk highways. This additional fee may not be less than one dollar.
The weight limits are as follows:
(1) Two axles - 40,000 pounds;
(2) Three axles - 60,000 pounds;
(3) Four axles - 80,000 pounds;
(4) Five axles - 85,000 pounds;
(5) Six axles - 90,000 pounds;
(6) Seven axles or more - 95,000 pounds.
A self-issuing single-trip permit must be validated by a permit-issuing authority before it can be used. In order to get validation, the permit holder shall contact the permit center and provide the information necessary for permit validation. If approved, the permit-issuing authority shall provide the permit holder with information to be copied on the permit by the permit holder regarding routing, permit restrictions, effective period of the permit, and validation number. The permit holder shall complete the permit and send the copy of the validated permit to the Division of Highway Patrol. The original validated permit is the permit for movement of the permit vehicle and must be carried in the permit vehicle during movement.
A single-trip permit may be issued in place of any extended period permit, LCV permit, or over 80,000 on interstate permit that is authorized in another section of this chapter. A single-trip over-dimension or overweight permit authorizes the movement of a permit vehicle for only one trip. A permit-issuing authority may grant a time extension for a single-trip permit to allow more travel time to complete a trip, if the trip as authorized by the permit is delayed due to equipment breakdown, weather conditions, highway conditions, or other moving delays. Special operating restrictions may be stated on the permit. All single-trip permits are issued subject to the provisions of this chapter.
State agencies, local subdivisions of this state or of a foreign state, and federal agencies, departments, or divisions are exempt from permit fees and additional overweight ton-mile fees.

If the proposed route of travel cannot be inspected, the permit holder shall contact the permit center to ensure that no prohibitive clearance limitations exist.
The permit-issuing authority may place additional limitations on an extended period permit as to route of travel and time of movement. The permit-issuing authority may specify additional requirements on an extended period permit as to signing, flagging, lighting, escort, special traffic control, and any other operational or safety requirement. The permit issuing authority shall consult the permit center before issuing an extended period permit to determine what additional limitations should be listed on the permit.
Unless otherwise specified, the fee for an extended period permit is $60.
