True or False: You may apply for an over-dimension or overweight permit.

You may apply for an over-dimension or overweight permit, making the statement true. This means that if a vehicle or load exceeds the legal size or weight limits defined by state regulations, the driver can obtain a permit that grants permission to operate the vehicle under those specific conditions.

These permits are crucial for ensuring safety on the roads while also allowing transporters to carry larger loads legally. Regulations are in place that require the application process to ensure that the intended route can accommodate the oversized or overweight vehicle without causing dangerous conditions or damage to roads and bridges.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the process for applying for these permits. For instance, while having a special license can be necessary for different types of commercial driving, it is not a requirement specifically tied to obtaining an over-dimension or overweight permit. Additionally, the need for a permit is not dependent solely on the type of load but instead on whether the load exceeds established limitations.
