Purpose
Allows the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to issue registration, motor carrier and use fuel single trip permits to nonresident owner/operator or driver for operations in or through Arizona for a specific trip.

Provisions
The following provisions apply to single trip registration, motor carrier, and use fuel permits. The single trip permit provides an opportunity for drivers of commercial motor vehicles, laden or unladen, to purchase a registration for that trip, rather than purchasing a 30, 60, 90-day permit or an annual registration. The permit is valid for use for a period of ninety-six (96) hours or upon exit of the state, whichever comes first, unless an extension of time is required. Such an extension is authorized by field officers when there is reason to believe that circumstances beyond the control of the driver caused a delay of normal planned travel. Such an extension must be granted in person and in writing. No approvals will be done over the phone.
