Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, falls on a Sunday this year. The observed holiday will be on Monday, July 5.
The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Commerce and Compliance Division (CCD) offices will be closed Monday, July 5, in observance of Independence Day.
However, the ODOT Motor Carrier Registration Service Call Center (503-378-6699) will be available 5 a.m. to midnight to offer basic registration services on Monday, July 5, such as temporary passes and trip permits. The Service Center will have limited staff, so callers should expect longer wait times. Carriers with established CCD Accounts and approved for Oregon Trucking Online may obtain credentials online.
Motor carriers operating under single-trip permits are encouraged to plan ahead and obtain permits early. Most permits are valid for 10 days, and can be issued up to 4 days in advance. The Over-Dimension Permit Unit is typically very busy immediately before and after holiday weekends.
Below are the travel restrictions for over-dimension loads:
-
Non-divisible loads (including mobile homes and modular units) cannot be moved if over 8 feet, 6 inches in width from noon Friday, July 2, until one half hour before sunrise Tuesday, July 6.
