TxDMV Overweight Memo Clarification for Eclipse, April 8
TFFA was made aware of a memo today that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles sent motor carriers regarding overweight/oversize vehicle travel on April 8th, during the eclipse event. The language has generated numerous calls to TFFA and to the TxDMV. TFFA spoke directly to the TxDMV for clarification. The memo content is below.
The clarification: if you have an overweight permit tied to a vehicle/tanker, but haul a load less than the overweight permit, you are allowed to travel during this time. If you have overweight permits for your fleet, these CANNOT be used during this time period. This is no prohibition of “legal” weight loads.
