Transportation Permits

The statuses of the state of Michigan authorize the Dickinson County Road Commission to issue special permits for the movement over county roads of vehicles or loads, which exceed the size or weight limitations specified by law.

It is the purpose of the Dickinson County Road Commission to permit the movement of necessary overweight and oversized vehicles or loads consistent with the following obligations:

• Protection of the motoring public from potential traffic hazards.
• Protection of road surfaces, structures and private property.

Starting February 26, 2024, the Dickinson County Road Commission is changing the way it processes overweight/oversize permits.

We are now using an online-based permitting system through the Oxcart website. The older system of processing transportation permits via in-person, fax and/or email has been discontinued. Any of the old permitting forms submitted after February 26, 2024 will not be accepted and/or approved. 

Any company wanting to apply for an overweight/oversize permit in Dickinson County will have to us the Oxcart permitting website. Registration is easy and can be completed on the Oxcart website by clicking here.
