What is this bond?

The Louisiana Movement of Vehicles of Excess Dimensions or Weight Bond is a commercial surety bond that guarantees payment of special permit fees. It ensures that transportation companies compensate the state when operating vehicles that exceed standard size or weight limits. If the principal fails to pay the required permit fees, the bond provides a financial mechanism for the state to recover those costs.

Who needs it?

Trucking companies, heavy haulers, and specialized transport businesses frequently need this bond to operate in Louisiana. It is typically required for businesses that regularly move oversized or overweight loads, such as construction equipment or mobile homes, across state highways.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to protect public funds by ensuring all special permit fees are paid in full by the transport company. Because oversized vehicles cause additional wear and tear on roads and require special routing, the state charges fees to offset these impacts. This bond guarantees the state will not suffer a financial loss if a transport company defaults on their permit payments.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to verify the exact bond requirements with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development before applying.
  • Entering incorrect business names or contact information on the bond application, which can cause processing delays.
  • Letting the surety bond expire while still operating oversized vehicles within the state.
  • Assuming the bond covers vehicle damage or liability insurance rather than just the payment of permit fees.
