What is this bond?

The Texas Over Axle and Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit Bond is a surety bond that ensures commercial motor carriers pay for damages caused to public roads. It guarantees financial compensation to the state or county if overweight vehicles damage highway infrastructure while operating under a tolerance permit.

Who needs it?

Motor carriers, trucking companies, and independent operators driving overweight commercial vehicles in Texas typically need this bond. It is required before the state will issue an Over Axle and Over Gross Weight Tolerance Permit to a transportation company.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond as a financial safety net to protect public infrastructure. Heavy and oversized loads cause significantly more wear and tear on local roads and bridges. By mandating this bond, the obligee ensures funds are available to repair any structural damage directly resulting from permitted overweight vehicles.
