Oregon Commercial Vehicle Entry and Enforcement Policies

Ports of Entry

Not all of our Oregon Ports of Entry have licensing or registration services. Get your credentials before entering the state or operating in Oregon.

Citations and Fines

Drivers will be subject to citation and fines when:
  1. Entering the state or operating in Oregon before getting credentials.
  2. Operating in Oregon when the Motor Carrier’s Account or vehicle registration is suspended.
  3. Operating without a valid variance permit and the load may not proceed until your driver possesses a valid variance permit.

Over-Dimension (OD) Variance Permits

This policy does not authorize loads that exceed legal size and/or weight to enter or operate in Oregon before obtaining a Variance Permit. Oversize and/or overweight vehicles are required to obtain a variance permit to operate in Oregon:
  • Before entry when operation originates outside Oregon.
  • Before operating when operation originates in Oregon.

Get a Variance Permit

Over-dimension permits can be ordered through ORION, our web-based self-service permitting system. ORION provides access to both single trip permits and annual permits.

Commercial Vehicle Tax and Registration

Electronic Credential Documents
The Commerce and Compliance Division (CCD) allows drivers to carry and present electronic documents that are able to open in PDF or other legible form. Other Oregon enforcement agencies may not accept electronic documents.

Paper Documents
Temporary pass numbers and route maps must be in paper form and carried in the vehicle.
