If you are submitting the application online: once you get to the payment page, there is a comments field. In the comments field enter �please mail this Envelope Permit to� and enter the Arizona based carrier address where the permit should be mailed. For paper application submission: please submit the paper application with the appropriate Arizona based address as you have in the past.
Vehicle Routing Questions
- Where can I get help on using the map and route selection tools?
Please see the Routing Help page for a good overview of these tools.
- If my trip needs to exit and re-enter the state or go through cities within the state, can I get one permit for both portions of my trip?
Yes, when using the routing method "Pick a Trip on the Map" or "Enter a Trip", you can use the "Add Segment" button.
- The analysis of my selected route failed. What can I do?
You have several options if your route fails. First, you can select an alternate route and analyze it. If it passes, use it. You can use the Generate a Trip option and let the system find a route that can be approved. When using the Generate a Trip option you are responsible for checking the route produced by the system. Lastly, you can select the option �Request Office Review� and let the state permit technicians see if your requested route can be approved or allow them to find an alternate path for you.
- Can I get a description of my clearance and/or load failures?
Clearance and weight failures are graphically depicted on the web page in red and summarized in the analysis status message. However, the states will not allow any more detailed information to be provided. You can either re-route or submit for office review.
- The analysis states that my analysis did not pass. I select the Restrictions report and the description talks about parking overnight or limited travel times. What does this mean?
The stated restrictions are limitations to your travel. They are not the reason that you did not pass your analysis. Your analysis may not pass for the following reasons - vertical clearance failure, horizontal clearance failure, live load bridge analysis failure, and / or a restriction failure. Clearance and weight failures are summarized in the analysis status message and graphically depicted on the Web page in the user specified failure color, but you cannot get a specific description of the failure. The restriction text that can be displayed are conditions the state can place on the state highway network that further limit travel beyond the fixed conditions such as clearances and bridge weight limits. These restriction conditions can be things like construction (temporary closures, lane width restrictions), weather, time of travel, special movement instructions (railroads), etc. These restrictions can either cause an analysis failure or may just add conditions to a move that can be permitted (see the next question). If the restrictions cause a failure, you can either re-route or submit the request for office review.
- The analysis states that my analysis did pass but encounters some restrictions. I select the Restrictions report and the description talks about parking overnight or limited travel times. What does this mean?
You can have a successful analysis but still have a trip that is subject to restrictions. For example, you do not have any routing failures but may be restricted from moving through a specific area during rush hour. Those types of restrictions will be shown here and will also be output on the permit document. This allows you to see the travel restrictions that will be on the permit before you get the permit. You can accept a permit with the restrictions or re-route or ask for assistance.
- How do I save a route so I can use it again later?
On the routing page, select the trip you want to save via the picking, text based, or automated methods. After you have the trip you want to save, choose the "Manage Saved Trip" option from the dropdown list in the "Trip Commands" section. Then click the Add button. You will then be prompted to provide a "name" for the route and the route will be saved. When you want to use that route again in the future, simply change the "method of routing" to "Loading a Saved Trip" (which will give you a list of all the routes you have saved), select a trip from the list and then analyze the trip.
- I am using an Apple computer and am having trouble routing.
Apple computers are not officially supported by this site. Users have reported success in issuing permits using FireFox.
Post-Application Questions
- My analysis passed. Why was I not able to get my permit right away?
There are limits to which permits can be system issued. Some permit types are never system issued. Other permit types can only be system issued up to certain weight and dimensional limits. After one or more of these limits is exceeded, the application must be reviewed and issued by state personnel.
- Can I change an application after I submit it?
Yes, if the State has not begun to process your application, you may edit it. Go to the My Permits page. Click on the appropriate Request ID. You are now recalling that permit request from the state so that you can edit it. Once you select the Request ID, you need to go all the way through the application process and re-submit the application; even if you are not making any changes. Otherwise, the application will be treated as an abandoned application.
- My permit request is not shown on My Permits and I have not received my permit. What do I do?
First, make sure that you have the filter set to �Recent�. Next, if you click the Request ID you are actually recalling that permit request from the state so that you can edit it. Should you do this by accident, you need to go all the way through the application process and re-submit the application. Otherwise, the application will be treated as an abandoned application. Note: If the state has already begun to process the application you will not be allowed to edit it.
- I don't know what this status on my request means, and I have not received my permit. What do I do?

- I have a Class C load that requires a �reverse transition.� How do I route on the routing page?
Due to the obstructions your planned route will encounter (that require the reverse transition), any route you choose will �Fail.� As you fill out your application, in Step 5 of the application page, please attach your actual route survey. Continue to the routing page. Choose your route from your start point to end point; once it fails, on the left side of the routing screen you will see an option that says �Send to Office for Review.� Choose this option and continue through the application process. The Class C Permits Office will be able to review the route survey you attached and manually enter the correct route into the system on your permit.
- I need to crossover an ADOT owned bridge or roadway when the rest of my route is not on any other ADOT controlled roadways. My load is over axle weight or requires a Bridge Analysis. How do I request a permit to travel over the ADOT controlled roadway or bridge?
Follow the same process as listed in the FAQ for the �reverse transition.� Start a Class C OS/OW permit application. Upload your route survey in Step 5 on the application page. Choose a short route on the routing page that is near the area you plan to crossover. Once the trip �Fails,� click the �Send to Office for Review� on the left side of the page. When you get to the payment page, enter your payment information and enter �THIS IS A CROSSOVER REQUEST� in the comment field. If you have any questions, please call the Class C Permits Office at 602-712-8176 or 8280.
