Why do I need an oversize/overweight special hauling bond?
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation requires oversize haulers to post a surety bond in an amount no less than $5,000.
Oversize and overweight hauling bonds in PA ensure that the principal (hauler) complies with the rules and regulations stated in Title 67 PA Code-Chapter 179 and Chapter 19, Subchapter C of the “Vehicle Code.” Specifically, these bonds guarantee that all haulers will promptly make payments of fees, costs and expenses to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
