Truck Permit Service FAQ

How fast can you process a truck permit?

Many permit types — including NY HUT, KYU, trip, and fuel permits — can be processed the same day. Oversize/overweight permits typically take 1–3 business days depending on the state and route complexity. Superloads may take longer due to required DOT coordination.

What information do I need to order a permit?

At minimum, we need your carrier name, DOT number, and MC number. For OS/OW permits, we'll also need your load dimensions, weight, axle configuration, and full route (origin, destination, and any waypoints). Having your insurance certificate handy speeds things up.

Do you handle permits for all 50 states?

Yes. Custom Permits processes truck permits in every U.S. state and Canadian province. We maintain direct relationships with state DOT offices and stay current on every regulation change so you don't have to.

Can I order permits online?

Absolutely. Our EasyPermits platform lets you order permits 24/7. Save your truck and carrier information, reorder previous permits with one click, and track everything in one place.

What's the difference between a trip permit and a fuel permit?

A trip permit authorizes your truck to travel through a state where it isn't IRP-registered. A fuel permit covers fuel tax obligations for interstate travel. They serve different regulatory purposes and you may need both for the same trip.
