What it is and who needs it.
What the permit-fee bond actually covers
Moving a load over Louisiana’s legal size or weight limits requires a special permit from the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), and the permit carries a fee tied to the damage and administrative cost of the movement. Carriers can pay each fee on the spot — or set up a monthly billing account with DOTD’s Weights & Standards / truck permits office and let the fees accrue.
A monthly account has to be secured by a surety bond that guarantees the bill. Per DOTD’s permit rules, the bond is executed in $1,000 increments at or above the customer’s monthly billing (no less than $1,000), so it scales with how much permitting you do.
The bond guarantees payment of the special permit fees and charges you run up — if you do not pay your monthly DOTD bill, the state recovers against the bond, and you repay the surety. It is a payment guarantee to DOTD, not insurance for your equipment or loads. We issue the amount DOTD set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
