Single-State Permit

Definition

A single-state permit is a state-level operating registration required by certain states beyond the federal UCR program. Examples include the New York Highway Use Tax (HUT) for trucks 18,000+ lbs, the Kentucky KYU number for 60,000+ lbs, the New Mexico Weight Distance Tax for 26,000+ lbs, the Oregon Weight-Mile Tax for 26,000+ lbs, the Connecticut Highway Use Fee for 26,000+ lbs, and the Massachusetts DPU. Each state administers its own permit application, fees, and reporting cadence. Operating without the required permit can result in roadside out-of-service orders. Use a state permit calculator to identify which states' permits apply to your fleet.
