Trucking permit services handle the necessary paperwork and compliance requirements for fuel taxes and weight distance taxes, ensuring that trucking companies meet state and federal regulations. Here’s an overview of these services:
IFTA is an agreement among the lower 48 U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces to simplify the reporting of fuel taxes for motor carriers that operate in multiple jurisdictions.
If a carrier operates a qualified motor vehicle (having three or more axles or weighing over 26,000 lbs) across state/province lines, they must register for an IFTA license.
Carriers file quarterly fuel tax reports detailing miles traveled and fuel purchased in each state. Based on this, taxes are either owed or refunded.
Some states charge a weight-distance tax instead of (or in addition to) fuel tax, requiring carriers to pay based on vehicle weight and miles traveled within that state.
Carriers operating in states with WDT laws must register and file reports. States with weight-distance taxes include:
If a trucking company does not have IFTA registration or WDT credentials, they may need temporary permits to operate legally in a given state. These are issued for short periods and allow for compliant operations without full registration.

As an owner-operator of a commercial vehicle, even if you don't personally drive, you are still required to be enrolled in a consortium because DOT regulations prohibit single owner-operators from managing their own random drug and alcohol testing program.
If you are enrolled in a drug testing consortium but haven't been randomly tested, it's likely because random selection is based on a large pool of drivers from different companies, meaning the odds of being chosen for a test at any given time are relatively low, especially if your company has a small number of drivers; essentially, your chances of being selected are diluted by the larger pool within the consortium.
