Equipment Haulers require several different permits, depending on their cargo and how long they will travel. These permits allow them to travel for several days, several trips, and carry heavier cargo. While not all these permits are universal, they do exist for several types of equipment haulers and heavy equipment transportation vehicles.

1. Single Trip
This permit allows the transportation of equipment to one specific point. Any movement should be between two specific points and through confirmed routes.
