question - Oregon permit

I always get it before I get there because sometimes the POE is closed. I usually just do it by phone.

 

You have to get it online. It only cost $10 and its good for a year.

 

Go to this link and read it carefully:

http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/MCT/docs/EntryPolicy_TaxRegistrationCredentials.pdf

If you haven't established an MCTD account, you'll have to call the Salem after-hours #.

Fine is $435 plus local court costs if you enter the state w/o proper permits.

 

I dont know where that guy got that $10.00 stuff from. It always cost us about $70.00 for 80000 going across. And it definitely isnt good for a year. 1/2 of what you read. None of what you hear.

 

Actully fine is $475 got poped for it a few years ago had a new truck and totally spaced it but you can get them at the p.o.e's excerpt if your coming from Washington south on I-5 theirs a permit office you have to stop at should be one of the first exits in Oregon

 

Okay not sure where some of these people are getting their info but do not listen to them. Sorry guys but you can get this guy in a bind. You MUST, MUST buy the permit before you cross into Oregon. You cannot buy them at the POE. The cost will depend on your weight and the distance traveled. Every permit costs different. The weight you give is locked in for the month. You can carry another load to Oregon that actually weighs less but they will charge you based on the heavier weight. If you carry a heavier load in then they will up your weight and charge you accordingly. If you go across the scale over your permit weight they will fine you big time. Its easiest just to call ODOT and order your permit over the phone. Online is a pain to me. They will charge your credit card and fax the permit to you. They will not email them so don't ask. Good thing is that they have every fax number for every truck stop within 100 miles of the Oregon border. Just tell them which one and they will send it. You do not have to research the fax number. Oregon is pretty easy to run in. Good luck.
