The Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit (CVEU) is tasked with enforcing the laws, rules, and regulations for Caddo Parish on all commercial motor vehicles. Our mission is to encourage and promote a safe driving environment by conducting roadside inspections and traffic enforcement on large commercial vehicles.

CVEU Permits

All overweight and oversized loads (including loggers and house movers) are required to obtain a permit. Visit the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit Website (http://www.caddopermits.org) to find more information on the different permit types that are offered, related costs for all permits, and guidance to help you determine whether or not you are required to obtain a permit for your trip.

Note: A separate permit must be purchased for each truck, commodity, and route, per load.

•  Protect the Parish from unnecessary damage to roadways and bridges by overweight vehicles.
•  Reduce commercial motor vehicle accidents through the enforcement of Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
