6/8/09-A new law creates oversize/overweight annual permits.
Previously SB1184, the new rule replaces the current permits, which must be requested with each delivery.
The new annual permit will not apply to loads in excess of 120,000 pounds or those over 12 feet in width, 14 feet in height or 110 feet in length. Heavy or oversized loads will still require individual load permits.

4/7/09-The House Transportation Committee approved a bill that would create oversize/overweight annual permits.
Sponsored by Sen. Bryce Marlatt, R-Woodward, SB1184 would create an oversize and/or overweight annual permit. The change would replace the current permits, which must be requested with each delivery.
Oklahoma’s permit would be modeled after Texas’ annual permit, which costs $4,000 a year.
The new annual permit would not apply to loads in excess of 120,000 pounds or those over 12 feet in width, 14 feet in height or 110 feet in length. Heavy or oversized loads would still require individual load permits.
The bill now moves to the House floor for further consideration. The Senate already approved it.
