DOR wants to remind you to apply for new OSW permits in their current system by 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, February 2. After that, no new OSW permit applications will be accepted until the new Indiana Oversize/Overweight Permitting System goes live the morning of Monday, February 8. You will have until 4 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 4, to pay for and download permits previously applied for in our current system.

Additional Information About Expired Permits and Penalties

• Carriers with loads under 200,000 lbs. GVW will be allowed to use permits that have expired no more than 14 days prior to travel; however, you must:
  • Use the same vehicle configuration, load and routes specified on your permit and
  • Check for any new road restrictions or closures on your permitted route at https://intr.carsprogram.org before traveling.
• DOR will not assess a non-payment penalty for permits that are approved but not paid for prior to Thursday’s cutoff time.

Do not forget to have a copy of your OSW permit and M-204 (general provisions) with the driver.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we prepare for the new permitting system. For more information, including emergency permitting and resources for using the new system, visit osw.dor.in.gov.
