State Permits
Six states charge their own permit on top of IRP. If your route goes through them, you need it.
What it is
Some states require their own weight or highway use permit on top of IRP registration and IFTA. There are six, and each has its own filing, calendar and reporting format.
We handle Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York and Oregon. If your route touches any of them, running without the permit is a fine even with everything else in order.
You need it if
- Your route crosses Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York or Oregon
- You are opening a new lane into the Northeast
- You got stopped and asked for a state permit you did not have
- You need to renew last year’s permits
What documents you need
- DOT number and company information
- Vehicle list with VIN and weight
- IRP cab card
- Planned routes by state
How long it takes
Depends on the state. Some issue on the spot, others take time.
