Kentucky Permit Requirements for Trucking Businesses

Businesses that operate in the US trucking industry must comply with a range of tax and permit requirements overseen by the FMCSA and DOT. For instance, Kentucky Weight Distance (KYU) includes:

• All trucks over 59,999 pounds are subject to KYU, a tax license issued for all carriers ​traveling on Kentucky roadways. The​ tax rate is 0.0285 cents per mile. You can purchase a one-time temporary permit per truck if you don’t plan regular trips within the state.
• Drivers who pass through Kentucky with an oversized or overweight load may need to obtain a trip permit. Trip permits allow drivers to move their vehicles through the state without having to pay annual registration fees. 
• Overweight vehicles may require additional permits beyond those listed above if they exceed legal limits for size or weight.
• If you are transporting hazardous materials such as explosives, flammable liquids, or radioactive materials, you will need an additional hazardous material (hazmat) permit before entering Kentucky.
