NOTICE OF STATE OFFICE CLOSURE:

Please plan ahead!   For best service please submit OS/OW applications early in the week of November 23, 2009, prior to the scheduled Thanksgiving and furlough day, to allow us time to process your OS/OW permit.   We process applications in the order in which they are received and we have a 2 hour turn around time for single trips.  Applications received after 3 p.m. Wednesday  November 25, 2009  will very likely not be processed until Tuesday November 30, 2009 due to the closure of all state offices.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

 

OS/OW Loads are Prohibited from Travel when hazardous conditions exist.  Hazardous Conditions include SNOW, ICE, MUD, ROCKS, WIND and REDUCED VISIBILITY.  No Oversize Movement is EVER allowed where the Chain Law is in Effect.  Overweight only are allowed to chain up and proceed as conditions allow.  See Rule 2 CCR 601-4, 4-1, D.
