How do I get a truck permit in Ohio?

It depends on which permit you need. An oversize/overweight single-trip permit covers a load over legal size or weight; a temporary trip permit stands in for IRP registration for a truck not apportioned in Ohio; a temporary fuel permit stands in for an IFTA license. Ohio issues them through codes.ohio.gov — the official fee for each is in the table above, and the agency link in each row is where you apply. Permit services and wire services can file for you, but they add a service charge to the same state fee.
