All oversize and overweight permits are processed using an online program called the Electronic System Network for Oversize and Overweight Information (eSNOOPI). WSDOT offices, self-issuing companies as well as permit agents access this web-based program for processing of permits.
How do I register to be a self-issuer? 
First-time users
CVS office offers an online self-issuer agreement and registration process. Carriers must complete the online registration form and must accept the "terms of service." The "terms of service" (pdf 56kb) can be printed for closer review.
If the user agrees to the conditions of the agreement, they will click on the "Accept and Sign up" button at the bottom. The user will receive a userID and password by e-mail with in a few minutes. This gives the user access to the permit program login. Once in the program, the user will be able to issue permits for their fleet. The permits are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week and printed on your personal computer.
The self-issued size and weight permit needs no special authorization other than registering to be a self-issuer, as outlined above.
The self-issued size and weight permit limits for single trip permits:
The tractor/trailer combination will be considered a tractor and trailing unit(s) which can include jeeps and boosters to distribute the weight. This permit is not valid for double trailers. (A separate permit type is available for double trailers which are not eligible for overweight.)
Any road and bridge restrictions are displayed on the single trip permit. The carrier must abide by the restrictions on the permit with no exceptions. Overheight clearances are the responsibility of the carrier not WSDOT.
The cost of the overweight permit is the same as if the self-issuer purchased the permit from a WSDOT office. There are no additional charges for self-issuing.
