Order a Permit Now! A fracing trailer is a vehicle combination consisting of a truck-tractor and a
semitrailer. The semitrailer is specifically designed with a tank and pump unit
for transporting liquid fracing products, liquid oil well waste products, and
unrefined liquid petroleum products to or from oil wells not connected to
pipeline.
The semitrailer must fall within Texas legal size and weight limits. This permit
is an annual permit that expires one year from the "movement to begin" date.
This permit allows movement when the vehicle or semitrailer:
- carries liquid oil well waste products or unrefined petroleum products from
wells not connected to a pipeline and return empty;
- hauls liquid products related to oil well production to an oil well and return
empty; or
- hauls liquid products related to oil well production to an oil well and return
with liquid waste products or unrefined liquid petroleum products from an oil
well not connected to a pipeline.
