Permits
How We Can Help?
UltraDrive registers, files and renews the recurring road-use taxes and permits interstate carriers owe: the weight-distance and highway-use taxes in New Mexico, New York, Kentucky, Oregon and Connecticut, your IFTA fuel-tax license and quarterly returns, the federal Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290), and the Pennsylvania Spotted Lanternfly permit. We track every deadline and file on your behalf so nothing lapses.
Do I need these filings?
If you run interstate through New Mexico, New York, Kentucky, Oregon or Connecticut, each state charges a road-use tax based on your miles. Each one must be registered and filed on its own schedule. You also carry IFTA for fuel tax. You file Form 2290 once your vehicle reaches 55,000 lbs. And if you load or unload inside a Spotted Lanternfly quarantine area — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and a growing list of others — you carry a Spotted Lanternfly permit; driving through without stopping for business does not need one. Miss any of them and you risk penalties, decal holds, or being stopped at a scale.
Which state road-use taxes do you file?
New Mexico (WDT), New York (HUT), Kentucky (KYU), Oregon (WDT) and Connecticut (HUF) — the weight-distance taxes carriers most often miss. We open the accounts and file the returns on their own schedules.
What is Form 2290 and do you file it?
Form 2290 is the federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), filed annually on trucks rated 55,000 lbs and up — and filed even when nothing is owed: a vehicle expected to run 5,000 miles or less in the period (7,500 for agricultural vehicles) is reported as suspended and pays no tax. We file it and get you the stamped Schedule 1 you need to register your plates.
How do you keep me from missing a deadline?
Every permit and tax has its own due date and renewal cycle. We track them per truck and file ahead of time — so you're never grounded at a scale or hit with a late penalty on our watch.
Do you need these filings?
You need this if
- You run interstate through New Mexico, New York, Kentucky, Oregon or Connecticut — each charges its own road-use tax on the miles you run there.
- Your vehicle is rated 55,000 lbs or more: that is the Form 2290 threshold, and the stamped Schedule 1 is what lets you register plates.
- You stop to load or unload inside a Spotted Lanternfly quarantine area — Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and others. Passing through with a covered load and no business stop does not count.
You do not need this if
- None of your routes enter New Mexico, New York, Kentucky, Oregon or Connecticut — these five follow the miles run in the state, so no miles there means nothing to file.
- Your vehicle is rated under 55,000 lbs: Form 2290 does not apply to it.
Most carriers owe some combination rather than all of them: the five state taxes follow your routes, Form 2290 follows the vehicle’s weight, and IFTA follows both.
IRP vs IFTA vs NY HUT vs Form 2290 — which ones apply to youEvery state deadline filed on time
Weight-distance and highway-use taxes each run on their own schedule — quarterly in some states, monthly in others. We register your accounts, calculate what's due from your mileage, and file each return before its deadline, so you never carry a lapsed decal or a late penalty.
No surprises at the scale or the border
A missing IFTA decal, an unfiled state road-use return, or an expired 2290 can mean fines, a hold on your registration, or your truck stopped at a scale. We keep every credential current so your vehicle stays legal in every jurisdiction you run.
What we file for you
As an experienced permitting provider, we register, renew and file the following:
- IFTA — fuel tax: The International Fuel Tax Agreement — one fuel-tax license and decal covering the 48 US states and 10 Canadian provinces. We handle new licenses, renewals, decals, and your quarterly IFTA fuel-tax returns.
- New Mexico — Weight Distance Tax (WDT): A mileage-based tax on vehicles over 26,000 lbs operating on New Mexico highways. We register your WDT account and file the quarterly return.
- New York — Highway Use Tax (HUT): New York's mileage-based tax on vehicles over 18,000 lbs gross — or, by the unloaded-weight method, a truck over 8,000 lbs or a tractor over 4,000 lbs — with a HUT certificate and decal. We register you and file the quarterly HUT return.
- Kentucky — Weight Distance (KYU): Kentucky's weight-distance tax on vehicles of 60,000 lbs or more. We obtain your KYU license and file the quarterly return.
- Oregon — Weight-Mile Tax: Oregon's per-mile tax on vehicles over 26,000 lbs, based on declared weight and Oregon miles. Filed monthly (quarterly by approval); we set up the account and file for you.
- Connecticut — Highway Use Fee (HUF): Connecticut's per-mile highway use fee on vehicles 26,000 lbs and up, in FHWA classes 8 through 13. Filed quarterly since October 2023, due the last day of the month after each quarter. We register your account and handle each return.
- Form 2290 — Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax: The federal HVUT owed to the IRS on vehicles of 55,000 lbs or more. We prepare and e-file your 2290 and get you the stamped Schedule 1.
- Pennsylvania Spotted Lanternfly Permit: Required when you load or unload inside a quarantine area; quarantined states honor each other's permits, so one covers you. Virginia repealed its own quarantine in 2025, others have since added theirs. We complete the designated-employee training and get Spotted Lanternfly permits issued for your vehicles.
