Which form is used to obtain special hauling permits for movement of oversize/overweight vehicles on public highways?

• A. DD Form 1265, Request for Special Hauling Permit
• B. DD Form 1267, Request for Special Hauling Permit
• C. DD Form 1266, Request for Special Hauling Permit
• D. SF 44, Request for Special Hauling Permit

Answer: (C)

Obtaining a special hauling permit for moving oversize or overweight vehicles on public highways is done with a dedicated DoD form that collects all the essential details of the load and the planned movement. DD Form 1266, Request for Special Hauling Permit, is used for this purpose. It standardizes what needs to be known by the installation Transportation Office and the authorities issuing the permit: vehicle description and dimensions, total weight, exact route and alternates, dates and times of movement, escort or pilot requirements, and the point of contact. This centralized approach helps ensure the move complies with state and local regulations and can be coordinated smoothly with the highway authorities before execution. Other forms may serve different administrative or permit-related functions, or are not the standard DoD document for oversize/overweight hauling permits, and the SF 44 is unrelated to permit requests.
