We have yet to recieve our New Mexico permits, and have a trip we would like to take. It says that a temp permit may be purchased at the port of entry. Does anyone know where we can get a trip permit going in from I 40. This will be our 1st time in NM.
Thanks

It took 2 weeks from the time I applied until I got mine.

You get it at the port of entry coming into NM on I-40. I think they are like $25.00, atleast it was the last time I had to get a permit.

I think someone screwed this one up, since its been better than a month and we havent got ours yet. NY HUT came quicker :shock:

If I remember, they charge by your weight and the miles you plan on driving in New Mexico.

It happened back when I was driving (1998-2000). NM had problems getting their permits printed out and sent out letters stating that the previous year permit was valid if you had possesion of a copy of that letter.

You can check the phone numbers here and see if it helps you:

When you are going either east or west on 40 just stop in at the port of entry and they will ask you where you are going and they will figure how many miles you will be traveling and charge you accordingly. The last time I went across there it was about $22 bucks each way. Just remember you are only paying for one way so when you turn around and go back you have to pay again.

It's charged by the weight of the truck.

Have your driver purchase at entry to state and fax you a blank request form, so next time you can fax/pay ahead of the truck reaching NM. Price is about $25
