Hey y’all, first time posting on here. New to trucking but have done a few cross country trips in a Hino box truck delivering art over the last few months. Two of the times, we’ve been flagged down to buy these permits in Arizona and New Mexico. It’s hard to find an answer as to why you have to buy these in these states and not others? We’re not oversize or overweight. Also, does anyone know how long the laws requiring these permits have been around? They seem to contradict the pretty solid idea behind the US Interstate System, and I wonder if more states are behind them as the federal government divests from public services.
Anyway, hope this isn’t something people ask every day and y’all are tired of talking about. Just curious and figured here would be the place to find out. Any help is appreciated!
