Virginia law § 46.2-1144.1 allows tank wagon owners to apply for overweight permits to operate heavier vehicles within specified weight limits. The permits are valid for one year and cannot exceed certain axle and gross weight restrictions. They also cannot be combined with other permits or violate posted weight limits on bridges and culverts.
The owner of the tank wagon vehicle can apply for the permit by submitting a written application and paying the required fee.
The permit allows a maximum single axle weight of 24,000 pounds and a total gross weight not exceeding 40,000 pounds.
The permit is valid for one year from the date of issuance.
No, permits issued under this section cannot be combined with other overweight permits or extensions of weight limits.
