Oregon Weight-Mile Tax Explained

Fast, Accurate Oregon Fuel Permit Processing for Heavy Trucks

Oregon's Weight-Mile Tax system is unique and applies to all commercial vehicles 26,001 pounds or more operating in the state. Unlike traditional fuel taxes covered by IFTA, Oregon requires separate Weight-Mile permits based on your truck's weight and miles traveled. We simplify this process by calculating your exact tax amount, verifying your vehicle details (VIN, weight, axle configuration, USDOT/CCD), and obtaining your temporary Weight-Mile permit through Oregon DOT the same day. Whether you're passing through Portland, delivering to Eugene, or running regular routes across Oregon, we handle all the calculations and paperwork so you stay compliant with Oregon DOT regulations. Most carriers need both a Trip Permit (registration) and Weight-Mile Permit (fuel tax)—we process both together for complete coverage. With 24/7 support, instant rate calculations, and years of experience with Oregon's mileage-based tax system, we're your trusted partner for hassle-free Oregon compliance.

Understanding Oregon Weight-Mile Tax

Oregon's Weight-Mile Tax is a road usage charge for commercial vehicles 26,001 pounds or more. This mileage-based tax replaces the traditional fuel tax and must be paid before operating in Oregon.

What is Oregon Weight-Mile Tax?

Oregon's Weight-Mile Tax is a road usage charge based on your truck's declared weight and miles traveled in Oregon. Heavier vehicles pay a higher cents-per-mile rate. This tax must be prepaid through a temporary permit or permanent account before entering the state.

FAQ

Oregon Fuel Permit - Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Oregon fuel permits and Weight-Mile Tax for commercial vehicles. Get answers about fuel tax requirements, processing times, and compliance.

  • 1 What's the difference between Oregon fuel tax and other states?

    Oregon uses a unique Weight-Mile Tax system instead of traditional fuel taxes for heavy trucks. Instead of paying fuel taxes at the pump, you pay based on your vehicle's weight and miles traveled in Oregon. This applies to all commercial vehicles 26,001 lbs or more.

  • 2 Can I use my IFTA permit instead of Oregon fuel permit?

    No. Oregon is not part of IFTA for heavy commercial vehicles. Even if you have valid IFTA credentials, you must still obtain an Oregon Weight-Mile permit to operate legally in Oregon. IFTA covers fuel taxes in other states, but Oregon requires its own system.

  • 3 How quickly can I get my Oregon fuel permit?

    Most Oregon fuel permits are processed and delivered within minutes to a few hours during business hours. You'll receive your permit as a PDF via email, ready to print or display digitally. Same-day processing is available for urgent requests.

  • 4 What happens if I don't have a fuel permit in Oregon?

    Operating without a valid Oregon fuel permit can result in fines, citations, and vehicle impoundment. Oregon DOT actively enforces fuel tax compliance. It's much easier and cheaper to get your permit before entering Oregon than dealing with penalties afterward.
