Welcome
Commercial Vehicle Permits Office

This site is designed to provide information about  rules and obtaining permits for moving extra-legal vehicles and loads through Colorado.  Extra Legal Vehicles are those vehicles exceeding size and weight restrictions on Colorado Highways and Interstates.

NOTICE:  August 23-30, 2008 Denver is hosting the Democratic National Convention.  Interstate 25 near downtown Denver including ramps and arterials will be impacted with restrictions, detours and closures throughout the week.  Some detours and closures may occur unannounced.  All detours and closures will be posted to www.CoTrip.org and on VMS signs along the roadways when known.  Alternate routes to avoid the Denver downtown area are advised. 
**All carriers operating oversize/overweight and LVC  permitted vehicles must frequently view the Restrictions report for restrictions surrounding the highways located in the vicinity of the DNC. View LVC restriction map for August 25-29, 2008.

**Properly credentialed tow industry carriers will be allowed to move disabled vehicles on the highway out of the restricted area; including the movement of vehicles that cause the towing combination to exceed extra-legal limits.
