TRS: Oversize/Overweight Freight Permitting and Routing Practices

Summary:

State's Office of Freight & Commercial Vehicle Operations, requested a TRS to determine what types of software and workflows state DOTs use to manage oversize/overweight freight operations and to support motor carrier credentialing activities. Relevant tasks include accepting permit applications for these loads, analyzing and approving their movements, accepting and processing motor carrier credentialing applications, and issuing vehicle decals and operating certificates. These results will be used to inform the State in replacing the current RouteBuilder Oversize/Overweight (OSOW) permitting system and the Motor Carrier Information System that currently processes and tracks motor carrier credentials, hazardous materials incidents and enforcement cases.

Final Deliverables:
