Port-of-Entry by-pass permit provisions

A temporary by-pass permit may be issued to accommodate the multi-trip, highway transportation needs to motor carriers who meet certain criteria. Motor carriers must meet the “multi-trip” definition to receive and maintain by-pass privileges. A motor carrier may receive an exception from this requirement on a case-by-case basis, if the motor carrier is able to demonstrate that denial of a by-pass permit will cause a hardship if the vehicle has to be diverted to a port-of-entry.

The basis for qualification to participate in the by-pass program is based in part on the carrier's safety history as shown in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA's) Safety Measurement System.

By-pass privileges may be granted to carriers traversing multiple ports of entry within the same route.

Authorized by-pass routes are allowed for the following Port of Entries:

• Daniels Port of Entry on SR 40 with empty vehicles, traveling eastbound only;
• Kanab Port of Entry on Highway 89 from Kanab's Main Street to the Kanab Port of Entry, while traveling on Hwy 389 between Las Vegas, Nevada and Page, Arizona, and all vehicles must clear the St. George Port of Entry;
• Perry Port of Entry may be by-passed and travel on Highway 89 between Brigham City and Ogden; and
• Monticello Port of Entry may be by-passed on US-191 with empty vehicles only.

By-pass privileges may be revoked or temporarily suspended should a carrier fail to meet the safety standards as set forth in the CSA program, FMCSA regulations, size and weight limitations, by-pass zone routes, and out-of-service criteria.
