Alaska trucking permits
Trip, fuel and oversize/overweight permits for Alaska — what the state requires, how it prices them, and how to get them filed.
What Alaska permits cost
The state's own fee, plus what we charge to prepare and file it. Your total depends on the trip, so the quote is the number that counts — these are the floors we hold on file.
| Permit | Alaska fee | Our fee |
|---|---|---|
| Trip Permit | quoted by hand | — |
| Fuel Permit | quoted by hand | — |
| Oversize / Overweight | quoted by hand | — |
A handling fee applies to each permit line. Nothing is charged until you have seen the total.
Fees and limits on this page were last checked in September 2026. States change fee schedules, legal limits and office hours without notice, and some fees depend on details we only know once you tell us the trip. Alaska is the authority, not this page — treat these as a guide and the quote as the number.
When you need an oversize permit in Alaska
Width and gross weight are federal everywhere — over 102 inches wide or 80,000 lbs and you need a permit in Alaska and in every other state. What changes at the state line is height, trailer length and what the axles may carry.
- Height
- 15'
- Semi-trailer length
- 53'
- federal baseline 53'
- Tandem axle
- 38,000 lbs
- Alaska allows 15' of height where the federal baseline is 13' 6" — a load that needs a permit elsewhere may be legal here.
- A tandem axle may carry 38,000 lbs here, above the 34,000 lbs federal figure — so a load that is overweight on the axles in a neighbouring state can be legal in Alaska.
Overhangs, single and tridem axles and the full table are on the Alaska regulations page.
The Alaska permit office
Who issues the permit, when they are open, and where they take applications. We deal with them so you do not have to — but if you would rather call them yourself, this is the desk.
