The City of Manvel requires a $100,000 surety bond for a heavy loads / oversize permit to haul over City streets. Ours is $1,000 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, identical for every hauler. A quick soft credit check may apply, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your heavy loads permit is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a quick soft credit check.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your heavy loads permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
Hauling heavy or oversize loads over Manvel's streets concentrates enormous weight on pavement, bridges, and culverts not built for it — so the City conditions a heavy loads permit on a $100,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the permit terms and the repair of any damage your loads cause to City roads.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Manvel (the obligee). If an overweight move damages a street, bridge, or culvert and you don't make it right, the City can recover the repair cost against the bond — which is why the penal sum is large.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Route and load within your permit and restore anything you damage, and the bond is just a permit formality.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
