105 IAC 10-4-3.5 Permit fee schedule

Sec. 3.5. (a) The permit fees collected from issuing divisible load permits are distributed under IC 9-20-6-13(b). (b) For a permit issued under this rule, an applicant shall pay a twenty dollar ($20) administrative fee in addition to other permit fees as provided under this section. (c) Divisible load permit fees are calculated as follows: (1) A legal eighty thousand (80,000) pound, five (5) axle tractor-trailer is measured to have an ESAL value of approximately two and four-tenths (2.4) ESALs, as calculated under 105 IAC 10-3-2. Loads exceeding eighty thousand (80,000) pounds require divisible or nondivisible overweight permits and will be charged for all additional ESALs exceeding two and four-tenths (2.4) ESALs on a per mile basis. (2) Permitted ESALs for a given permit are the total vehicle ESAL value of the permitted vehicle minus the two and four-tenths (2.4) ESALs allowed by a legal load without a permit (ESAL - 2.4). (3) ESAL miles are the permitted ESAL value multiplied by the miles to be driven on the route specified in the permit ((ESAL - 2.4) × miles traveled). (4) The total fee for an individual trip permit is the twenty dollar ($20) administrative fee plus twenty-five cents ($0.25) per ESAL mile above the allowed two and four-tenths (2.4) ESALs ($20 + (($0.25) × (ESAL - 2.4) × (miles traveled)). Permit fees are rounded up to the nearest dollar as follows: Example of Total Permit Fee Calculation For an overweight vehicle with a calculated ESAL value of 4.0 that is going to travel 250 miles: = $20 administrative fee + ($0.25/ESAL mile) × (4.0 ESALs - 2.4 ESAL credit) × 250 miles Simplifying 4.0 - 2.4 = 1.6 = $20 administrative fee + ($0.25/ESAL mile) × (1.6 ESALs) × 250 miles Simplifying .25 × 1.6 × 250 = 93.75 = $20 + $93.75 = $113.75 = $114 (rounded up) (5) Annual multi-trip permits for vehicles greater than eighty thousand (80,000) pounds and less than two and four-tenths (2.4) total vehicle ESALs are issued at a zero (0) ESAL mile fee and the twenty dollar ($20) administrative fee.
