## What is PermitPass App?

PermitPass turns your TxDOT OS/OW permit into easy, in-cab guidance along the exact TxPROS permitted corridor. Import the permit PDF or scan its QR code, and the official routed path loads in seconds. Review everything before you roll, then start navigation right at the permit route start and stay on the legal corridor.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Load your permit by QR code or PDF in seconds
• Follow the exact TxPROS route TxDOT issued for your load
• Review the full route first: map, waypoints, distances, and permit details
• Keep your hands on the wheel: maneuvers advance automatically as you drive the permitted route
• See live distance to your next maneuver and how much of the trip is left
• Open the full maneuver list any time — it follows your progress and never changes your guidance
• See advisories along your route: clearance heads-ups, DriveTexas road events, and weigh-station locations
• Start at the permit start: PermitPass guides the permitted route once you're loaded and ready, instead of driving you to the pickup
• Run it on iPhone or iPad, with layouts built for portrait and landscape
• Clean, high-contrast display that's easy to read in the cab, day or night

BUILT ON ONE PRINCIPLE
The official permit is the authority. PermitPass doesn't invent routes or send you off the permitted path. It makes the route TxDOT already issued simple to follow.

WHO IT'S FOR
Owner-operators, heavy-haul and superload carriers, escort and pilot-car operators, and dispatchers moving oversize/overweight loads in Texas.

IMPORTANT
The official TxDOT permit remains the legal authority. PermitPass assists you, but it does not replace the permit. You are responsible for driving safely and following all laws and the terms of your permit.

PermitPass Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited permit imports and route guidance. Price: $199.99 per year or $24.99 per month. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

### 5/5 — Great, great company great solution

*2026-08-11*

The app works great. Has some minor flaws and tweaks but it’s in staging process. If you use this app understand it’s being developed. Don’t expect it to be 100% perfect because nothing is 100% perfect technology has its flaws and obviously needs data and time to tweak out bugs and errors you as a driver should still be responsible enough to know your route. This just helps make everything a lot easier and quicker.
