Carriers based in jurisdictions outside of New York State are now able to obtain 'Divisible Load Permits', and must show the maximum combined gross weight (cgw) on the cab card. Carriers will pay fees through Ontario IRP to a maximum of 80,000 lbs., and will pay New York directly for extra weight through the 'Divisible Load Permit'. These carriers are also eligible to obtain 'Special Hauling Permits', which are issued for non-divisible loads and permit them to register in excess of 80,000 lbs. cgw, at the weight designated on the permit. Without a Special Hauling Permit or a Divisible Load Permit, carriers based outside of New York cannot legally operate in excess of 80,000 lbs. cgw in New York State.
