What is a New York Oversize and/or Overweight Special Hauling Permit Bond?
Special hauling permits are required for vehicles that exceed the legal dimensions or weights specified in Section 385 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. This permit must be obtained before the vehicle can traverse the New York State highways during specific time periods and on permissible hauling days.
When obtaining a special hauling permit, the New York Department of Transportation may require the applicant to submit a sufficient bond. This bond will serve as financial security in case the permit holder violates any of the provisions of the said law or the rules and regulations of the New York Department of Transportation.
How much does a New York Oversize and/or Overweight Special Hauling Permit Bond cost?
The permit applicant will not pay the full bond amount, only a small percentage of it as a bond premium. Bond premium will depend on the permit applicant’s credit score.
Those who have excellent credit scores will be eligible to pay as low as 1.5% of the bond amount.
