Oversize and Overweight Single-Trip Permit Tonnage Fees (1385XD) - Transportation, Department of

This bill changes Iowa's fee structure for commercial vehicles operating under single-trip permits when exceeding size or weight limits. It allows vehicle owners to register such vehicles for a single trip based on the combined gross weight (instead of the previous requirement), charging $4 per ton over 40 tons. This directly affects commercial trucking companies that move oversized or overweight loads in Iowa under temporary permits. The key change eliminates the prior rule that prevented using the standard $10 trip permit (Code 326.23) as a substitute for the weight-based registration fee.
