Please describe a “license to load trucks”
What about 50, 55, 60, 70, 100 ton lowboys? They get special privileges too?
Nope, they are permitted by the DOT just like the cane trucks are to be over the standard weight.
Just like being 119” wide. Blanket permit for Oversize Load.
No one is getting a special privilege.
The DOT sets the standard non-permitted loaded weights and dimensions. If you need to operate outside of that, the state issues you a one trip or blanket permit (good for a year) and they then asses the proper additional fees to the operator be able to carry that load.
All loads are legal- it just depends on how much additional fees the DOT deems necessary to asses to be able to do it legally.
And that is the law.
