PERMITSWhat it is
Some states require their own weight or highway use permit in addition to IRP registration and an IFTA license. There are six: Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York and Oregon, each with its own filing process, calendar and reporting format.
When a vehicle occasionally enters a state not covered by its plates or IFTA license, a temporary trip or fuel permit is required instead. We handle both types of permit; operating without the correct one results in a citation even when everything else is in order.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need all six state permits?
Only those for the states you actually operate in. We review your route before filing any permit.
What is Kentucky’s KYU permit?
Kentucky’s highway use license for vehicles of 60,000 lbs or more, with quarterly mileage reporting.
What is New York’s HUT?
The New York Highway Use Tax. It includes a decal for the vehicle and periodic reporting of miles driven in the state.
Are there permits for a single trip?
Yes. For a one-time run, a trip permit is usually more practical than an annual registration.
