DMV Launches New Online Commercial Vehicle Permitting System

Montpelier, Vt. - The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has launched a new online commercial vehicle permitting system, called VT Haul Pass, that will drastically reduce the time required for the commercial vehicle industry to obtain permits to operate oversize or overweight vehicles on Vermont highways.

"Our commercial vehicle customers have been asking for and looking forward to this modern, streamlined process," said Deputy Commissioner Matthew Rousseau. "The once-arduous process of completing permits within a four-hour timeframe can now be done instantly."

The new system is designed to keep industry moving without delay. If an emergency move is needed, it can be done outside of regular business hours.

Previously, permit applications were submitted manually. DMV staff would route the trip using restrictions for height, weight, length, road closures, etc., and call the customer for payment prior to emailing the permit to the customer. VT Haul Pass now allows customers to create an account, complete their application online, pay, and receive their permit seamlessly.

Annual permit holders will no longer need to wait for their renewal application in the mail. Annual permits and renewals can now be completed online.

Road and bridge restrictions are updated in real time for the most up-to-date safe travel routes.
