My vehicle is registered at 80,000 pounds. Do I need an SHV Permit for overweight purposes?
The SHV Permit is not for overweight purposes. The SHV Permit application explains the permits specific uses and purposes. Depending on the configuration of the vehicle, the maximum weight with an SHV Permit is 72,000 pounds The SHV Permit does have a provision allowing overweight up to 4,000 pounds for vehicles hauling concrete or asphalt in its plastic state without shifting or reducing the load. The vehicle will still be ticketed for overweight if it is registered at 80,000 pounds and the vehicle configuration does not meet the definitions provided. In that case, the SHV Permit may not be for your vehicle. If you are making an overweight operation, please contact the Illinois Department of Transportation at 217-782-6271 for instructions.
