Arizona trucking permits
Trip, fuel and oversize/overweight permits for Arizona — what the state requires, how it prices them, and how to get them filed.
How Arizona prices a permit
In Arizona, what you pay turns on how heavy the load is, how far over legal it measures and how far you travel in the state. Because distance is part of it, a short crossing of Arizona costs less than running its length.
States do not use a common formula. Arizona charges on dimension bands, a flat fee by weight band and per axle, within distance bands, depending on the permit and the configuration:
- dimension bands
- Length, width and height are read together against a set of bands, and the band you land in sets the fee.
- a flat fee by weight band
- The fee steps up at set weight thresholds and does not change with distance.
- per axle, within distance bands
- Axle count sets the rate and the mileage band sets which rate applies.
What Arizona 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 | Arizona fee | Our fee |
|---|---|---|
| Trip Permit | by weight, axles and distance | $29 |
| Fuel Permit | by weight, axles and distance | $29 |
| Oversize / Overweight | by weight, axles and distance | $39 |
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. Arizona is the authority, not this page — treat these as a guide and the quote as the number.
When you need an oversize permit in Arizona
Width and gross weight are federal everywhere — over 102 inches wide or 80,000 lbs and you need a permit in Arizona and in every other state. What changes at the state line is height, trailer length and what the axles may carry.
- Height
- 13' 6"
- federal baseline 13' 6"
- Semi-trailer length
- 57' 6"
- Tandem axle
- 34,000 lbs
- federal baseline 34,000 lbs
- Semi-trailers may run to 57' 6", longer than the 53' most states allow.
Overhangs, single and tridem axles and the full table are on the Arizona regulations page.
