Special note to motor carriers
The Iowa DOT recommends that commercial vehicle operators plan ahead if they will need services from the Iowa DOT around the Labor Day weekend. Commercial vehicle operators who need oversize/overweight permits for travel in Iowa during the Memorial Day weekend should obtain them prior to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 2.
No movements of oversize loads will be permitted in Iowa from noon Friday, Sept. 2, until 30 minutes prior to sunrise on Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Because the permit center typically experiences a heavy workload on the day following the holiday, customers are urged to submit applications for oversize permits, especially those more than 156,000 pounds, several days before needing the permit.
