SC&RA Inquires About VA Permit Delays

The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association inquired last week about the State of Virginia’s recent oversize load permit delays. SC&RA Inquires About VA Permit Delays

During a meeting on Sept. 9, SC&RA asked VA transportation and motor vehicle officials to upgrade its automated permit system, and join other states that “auto issue” oversize load permits at or about 14-6 high, 110-feet long and 150,000 pounds.

VA state officials responded to the inquiries by saying personnel issues were the cause of some major permit delays this summer, including some that lasted several hours to several days.

SC&RA reported that VA officials agreed to meet with them in six months to give a progress update on automation plans.

According to the SC&RA, over 35 states have automated permitting and routing systems.
