Summary of Issue

STATE LINE PERMIT INSPECTIONS Primarily in a handful of western and eastern states, our permit loads are required to, prior to entering at a state line, undergo inspections/weighing that can take up to several hours. In a recent WASHTO SCOHT Permit Officials meeting, there appeared beginnings of positive discussion amongst some state officials about the repetitive nature of such inspections and the potential for, in some cases, states to share information between themselves, to allow for more efficient commerce and movement of OS/OW loads interstate. We seek dialogue with CVSA and other stakeholders regarding a harmonized best practice recommendation.
