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 July 4 holiday. Commercial vehicle operators who need oversize/overweight permits for travel in Iowa on Monday, July 6 should obtain them prior to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, July 2.
No movements of oversize/overweight loads will be permitted in Iowa from noon Friday, July 3, until 30 minutes prior to sunrise on Monday, July 6.
Because the permit center typically experiences a heavy workload on the day following the holiday, customers are urged to submit applications for oversize/overweight permits, especially those more than 156,000 pounds, several days before needing the permit.
