An applicant for a permit may register with the central permit office by filing a registration agreement for special hauling permits, Form M-936 RA and a surety bond, Form M-936B in the amount of at least $2,000, or at least $5,000 if the applicant participates in the permit monthly billing system, or an amount in excess thereof as required by the central permit office. The bond shall be issued by a corporate surety approved by the Insurance Department, and shall guarantee to the Commonwealth, the payment of fees and expenses incident to the issuance of a permit.
Except in the case of a permit service:
- The name of the applicant shall be identical on the registration agreement and surety bond and on a permit issued thereunder.
- A person desiring permits to be issued in more than one name shall register separately under each name and file separate registration agreements and surety bonds.
- A registration agreement and a surety bond shall be valid until the central permit office acknowledges, in writing, the cancellation of the registration agreement or surety bond.
A person shall first have been registered by the Department under § 179.5 (relating to issuance of registration agreement), to be eligible to apply for or to obtain a permit by telefacsimile or another wire method approved by the Department. Otherwise, the application shall be made in person or by mail, accompanied by a certified check or money order.
