State Weight-Distance & Highway Use Permits
A handful of states charge their own mileage-based tax on top of federal requirements, and require a separate permit or account before you run there. New Mexico (Weight Distance Tax), New York (Highway Use Tax), Kentucky (KYU) and Oregon each run their own program with their own registration and reporting.

How it works
- 01
We map your routes to requirements
Not every state has one of these — we confirm which apply to you.
- 02
We register you
We set up each required permit or account with the state.
- 03
We keep the reporting current
These come with their own recurring filings, which we track.
Deadlines & renewal
Each state sets its own registration and reporting schedule — several require quarterly reports separate from IFTA. We'll confirm the specific calendar for the states you run in.
Common mistakes
- Assuming IFTA covers these — it doesn't, they're separate state programs
- Running into a state before the permit is active and getting cited at a port of entry
- Missing a state's quarterly report because it's on a different schedule than IFTA
Frequently asked questions
Doesn't IFTA already cover state fuel taxes?+
IFTA covers fuel tax. These are separate weight- or mileage-based taxes that certain states charge in addition, with their own permits and reports. We'll confirm what applies to your routes.
