The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has published its 2024 coal calendar allowing customers to book appointments for inspections and calibrations.
With appointments, trucks can usually be inspected in a few minutes, according to the DMV.
Only empty trucks with valid registrations, credentials and legible vehicle identification numbers will be checked.
Permits are valid for one year and will be issued during the appointment.
Under Virginia code, a truck cannot haul coal at the specified greater weight until it has been calibrated and has a current permit and decal. Trucks may haul coal at standard legal weights without a valid permit or calibration.
All calibrations will be conducted at DMV’s Lebanon coal truck calibration site, located on Route 19 South in Russell County, approximately 1.5 miles north of Lebanon.
The schedule is available at dmv.virginia.gov.
To schedule an appointment, please call (276) 608-1710 or (540) 357-3313.
