Movement of Oversize/Overweight Loads for Hurricane Hanna Disaster

Federal Disaster Relief Permits Available

Motor carriers transporting a divisible load that is overweight only to and within the areas affected by Hurricane Hanna may self-issue a Federal Disaster Relief Permit through the Texas Permitting and Routing Optimization System (TxPROS). https://txpros.txdmv.gov/.

A copy of the President’s declaration must be carried with the permit. The declaration can be found here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/president-donald-j-trump-approves-texas-emergency-declaration/

The Federal Disaster Relief Permit allows for travel on all state and federal roads, including the interstate highway system. The permit may not be used for overwidth, overlength, or overheight loads.

Vehicles moving with this permit may only deliver relief supplies (the entire load must consist of relief supplies), or assist in expediting debris removal from roadways, staging areas, or temporary structure locations.
