Trucking Authority State Permits

---

The KYU Number is a mandatory tax license issued by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for commercial motor carriers operating in or through the state of Kentucky. If your vehicle has a gross weight of 60,000 lbs. or more, you're required to obtain a KYU Number to stay compliant with Kentucky's weight distance tax.

The KIT (Kentucky Intrastate Tax) applies to motor carriers operating only within the state of Kentucky. It’s a separate requirement for intrastate operations and ensures you're paying the correct mileage-based taxes.

Failing to register for the KYU or KIT can result in fines, penalties, and vehicle impoundments at weigh stations or during roadside inspections.

The New Mexico Weight Distance Tax Permit is required for any commercial vehicle with a gross weight over 26,000 pounds that operates on New Mexico highways. This permit allows the state to collect a weight-distance tax based on the number of miles your truck travels within New Mexico.

If you're an interstate or intrastate carrier and your vehicle meets the weight threshold, you must:

• Register for the permit per vehicle (by VIN)
   
• File quarterly tax returns and pay based on mileage and vehicle weight
   
• Maintain compliance to avoid penalties or being stopped at New Mexico ports of entry
   

Occasional trips through New Mexico? You may be able to use a temporary trip permit instead.

The Oregon Annual Motor Carrier Permit (AMCP) is required for any commercial motor vehicle over 26,000 pounds gross weight operating within Oregon, whether you're running intrastate or interstate. This permit supports the recovery of highway maintenance costs in the state.

Key Points:

• Annual registration per vehicle (by VIN), renewed each calendar year
   
• Fees based on gross vehicle weight, not mileage
   
• Required before operating in Oregon—drivers may face fines, vehicle holds, or denied entry without it.

The Connecticut Highway Use Tax (HUT) is a per‑mile tax required for Class 8–13 commercial vehicles with a gross weight of 26,000 pounds or more that travel on Connecticut roads Carriers must:

2. Place a copy of the permit in each eligible vehicle.
    
3. File HUT returns and pay monthly (by the last day of the following month), even if no miles were driven in CT.
    
4. Keep records of mileage, vehicle weight, and filings for at least four years—necessary for audits.
    

Rates range from 2.5¢ to 17.5¢ per mile, based on the vehicle’s gross weight .

• 1% monthly interest on late payments
   
• A 10% late-filing penalty or $50 minimum
