What to know before you buy
Trip permit $43 for 10 days for vehicles over 10,000 lb or 3+ axles with no Oregon registration. Separately, a Weight-Mile Temporary Tax Pass costs $9 plus weight-mile tax per mile, valid 10 days or until miles used up, for trucks over 26,000 lb without a CCD account. Oregon uses weight-mile tax instead of a fuel trip permit.

| Legal length | Single truck 40 ft; tractor-semitrailer 60 ft overall on Group 1 highways with a max 53 ft semitrailer, unlimited overall length on designated Route Map 7 routes; load may extend up to 5 ft past the rear of the trailer. |
| Legal gross weight | 80,000 lbs |
| Oversize travel hours | Generally daylight only (30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset); non-divisible loads up to 12 ft wide on Interstates (10 ft on other green routes) may move in hours of darkness; district and metro time limits (Attachment H) and construction restrictions apply. |
