The Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner and local authorities of cities
and towns in their respective jurisdictions, upon written application by the
owner or operator of any empty, oversize and overweight, rubber-tired,
self-propelled hauler or loader used in the construction and coal mining
industries, may issue to such owner or operator a permit authorizing operation
upon the highways of such equipment with gross empty weights in excess of those
established in §§ 46.2-1122 through 46.2-1127 and sizes in excess of those
established in §§ 46.2-1105 through 46.2-1108. The permits shall be issued only

traversed to sustain the vehicles' size and weight. Permits shall be issued on
an individual trip basis and Costs will shall be assessed against the applicant
to cover engineering analysis.
