What it is and who needs it.
What the permit bond actually covers
North Carolina regulates oversize and overweight movements through the NCDOT Oversize/Overweight Permit Unit under G.S. 20-119 and the permit rules at 19A NCAC 02D .0602. When a movement is large or heavy enough that it could damage a road, bridge, or structure, NCDOT can require a surety bond before the permit issues.
The bond indemnifies NCDOT against loss, cost, or damage caused by your movement and guarantees you'll honor the conditions on the permit — routing, escorts, timing, and repair of any damage. It protects the state and the public, not the carrier.
Most permits don't require a bond. When one is required, the amount is set case by case by the Chief Engineer as the permit is reviewed — so enter the exact figure NCDOT put on your permit, and we'll issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
