When you move an oversize or overweight load on Minnesota highways, the road authority issuing your permit can require a surety bond as a financial guarantee against damage to roads, bridges, and structures. The amount is set by the permitting authority — enter it and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with a soft pull only.
















Enter your amount, consent to a soft pull, pay, and file with the road authority. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the road authority set, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; the soft pull never affects your score, and an underwriter follows up within 48 hours only if something is needed.
Submit the executed bond to MnDOT or the city, county, or town that owns the route, alongside your oversize/overweight permit. Wet-ink originals mailed when required.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the road authority set and the premium updates.
Minnesota regulates the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles under Minn. Stat. 169.80 through 169.88. Before moving a load that exceeds legal size or weight limits, you must obtain a permit from the road authority that owns the route — MnDOT for trunk highways, or a city, county, or town for local roads.
Under Minn. Stat. 169.86, the permitting authority may issue, withhold, or condition a permit as necessary to protect road foundations, surfaces, and structures — and may require a surety bond as a financial guarantee that you will repair or pay for damage your move causes to public infrastructure.
A bond is not required for every move — many single-trip and annual permits issue without one. It is most often required for heavier loads or routes over sensitive structures. The amount is set by the road authority; enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with a soft pull only.
Submit the application with the bond amount the road authority set, plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull — the executed bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
