Hawaii trucking permits
Trip, fuel and oversize/overweight permits for Hawaii — what the state requires, how it prices them, and how to get them filed.
What Hawaii 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 | Hawaii 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. Hawaii is the authority, not this page — treat these as a guide and the quote as the number.
When you need an oversize permit in Hawaii
Over 102 inches wide or 80,000 lbs gross, a load needs a permit in Hawaii as it would anywhere. Height, trailer length and axle weight are where states differ, and here is where Hawaii sits.
- Height
- 14'
- Semi-trailer length
- 53'
- 53' in most states
- Tandem axle
- 34,000 lbs
- 34,000 lbs federal Interstate limit
- Hawaii allows 14' of height. The strictest states stop at 13' 6", so a load that needs a height permit in those may be legal here.
Overhangs, single and tridem axles and the full table are on the Hawaii regulations page.
The Hawaii 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.
