To Whom It May Concern:
Starting today June 8, 2016, the Rockdale Police Department will be changing the way we process our overweight/oversize permits. We will be using an online-based permitting system via the website, https://www.oxcartpermits.com. The older system of processing permits (via fax, telephone, or email) has now been discontinued.
Any company wanting to apply for an overweight/oversize permit in Rockdale will have to use the Oxcart permitting software. Registration is easy and can be completed on the Oxcart website under the Trucking login/sign up link https://oxcartpermits.com/user/trucking. You also can access a link to Oxcart via https://rockdalepolice.com. Once registered, companies will then be able to reap the benefits of the following via Oxcart:
- Access a simple to use online interface for requesting local permits
- Paperless permits downloadable to your computer or any mobile device
- Eliminate tedious paper processes, faxing and phone calls
- Speed the process of permit approvals
- Features an online, interactive mapping solution to assist in route selection
- Online permit approvals pushed to your email inbox
- Provide an easy, online payment system (Credit Card Only – see below)
Processing and Credit Card Fees
In addition to the Rockdale permitting fees, Oxcart will require a nominal processing fee for each permit. Oxcart will also assess a credit card fee for each permit processed. Those charges are as follows:
- Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Diner’s Club – 9% of total permitting fee (permit & processing fee combined)
- Plus a $.30 transaction fee for ALL permits
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions and/or comments.
Thank you,
Robert J Dykstra Jr
Chief of Police – Rockdale Police Department
