In Virginia, commercial vehicles have the option to apply for an overload permit which authorizes them to operate on Virginia state roads at weights which exceed the single axle weight, tandem axle weight, or the gross weight limitations by up to 5% of the vehicle's registered or gross weight.

Customers may apply for an original overload permit, or to renew, transfer, or replace an existing permit by completing the Overload Permit Application (VSA-145) at customer service centers, DMV Select offices, or by mail (see address below). Original overload permits may be purchased or renewed online at DMVNow.com (transfers and reissues not available online).
