Nevada Travel Permit Warning On NHRA

[63corvette]

Just off the phone with LeAnn with the Nevada Department of Transportation License and Permit Division regarding the permits.
She tells me:
Motorhomes are generally exempt Dually Pickups are NOT if pulling a trailer they will generally exceed the 10,001 limit and probably will be targeted.

If the trailer being pulled has any signs or decals on it, it will be targeted no matter what the tow vehicle is. "White Boxes" should be left alone but you never know it all depends on the Police Officer.

Permits are good for 24hours only and you have to have one before you enter the state.
$5 for the permit plus 15 cents for all the miles you expect to drive plus the $25 to $45 admin fee for the company you get the permit through. Plus if you have a Trip Permit you also need the Fuel Permit which is $30.

You must then get another when you leave if the 24 hour permit is expired due to time.
If you are in state and parked on private property you can purchase it directly from the State of Nevada at one of their sites. Just don't drive the rig there to purchase the permit.
By doing that you can save the $25 to $45 you have to pay the company who get the permit for you.

Being registered as a private vehicle in a persons name and not a company does not apply. She said there are lots of commercial trucks registered in individual names.

Basically LeAnn says anything with a advertising sign or decal on it is considered to be a Commercial Vehicle by the State of Nevada and will be targeted.

All the states need money and this is a way to get more of it.

Hope this helps
