The following news item has been issued from the office of the
West Virginia Commissioner of Highways.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 17, 2006
West Virginia Oversize-Overweight Truck Permits Go Online
CHARLESTON – Highways Commissioner Paul Mattox announced today
the opening of a new online service for motor carriers needing
special hauling permits to travel through the state. Working with C.
W. Beilfuss & Assoc., Inc., a nationwide vendor of state government
automation with over 15 years of experience in automating state
oversize – overweight permitting agencies, this new service is
expected to save the trucking industry significant time and money by
making travel documents and permits available on-line, around the
clock and with out processing delays. “Implementing efficiencies in
our permitting process can only help businesses remain successful,”
Commissioner Mattox stated. “This service by C.W. Beilfuss and
Associates accomplishes that.”
The on-line service will include a convenience fee of $10-$15,
depending on the permit type but the current West Virginia office
will continue to issue permits without the added fees.
For more information please contact Wayne Kessinger (304) 558-9483
or go to www.gotpermits.com.
This service has been made available by providing users access to
a version of the computer analysis program very similar to the one
used by our personnel here in the Central Permit Office. Users enter
their truck and route information and run the analysis. If the load
passes on the program, the user may print out the permit and go. If
it does not pass, the application is forwarded here for further
processing. The obvious advantage to the trucking industry is that
permits for most moderately oversize and/or overweight loads – and
many superloads - traveling major routes in West Virginia may be
issued without delay. Also,
www.gotpermits.com does accept payment by major credit cards,
whereas the State of West Virginia cannot directly accept credit
card payment.
General Information

to move everything from mobile homes to giant superloads. You can

Section at the number listed below and get them to give you a logon
account and a password. If you do not have a state account and would

After you get your state account, you will need to contact the
Permits Section at the number below to obtain your logon account and
your password. Once all this is done, just click on the link below,
logon, and enter your trip requests on-line.
There are many advantages to entering your requests on-line. After
you have submitted your request, our system will assign you a trip
request number you can use to track the progress of your requests
through the issuing process. Since the information regarding your
trip is already entered into our system, the permitters do not have
to key in all the data, risking typographical errors, and expediting
the issuing process. This saves you time and costs less than faxing
applications long distance and calling the permitters regarding the
progress of your permits.
