What Do I Need to Run O/O in Kentucky???

You need a KYU# for their highway use tax. You can get it directly from them for free, or use a permit service to get it faster for a fee if needed. Here's the state's website with contact info-http://transportation.ky.gov/Motor-Carriers/Pages/Commercial-Motor-Vehicle-Credentials.aspx

 

Yessir. You don't have to display the license# anymore, they track it by your DOT#, but you still have to have the actual license.

 

Wow sooo if your a trucking company in ky you need the KYU# ???

 

Anyone that operates in KY needs a KYU, whether they're from KY or not.

 

Add NY State to the list,You do need tax # to go to NY

 

NM and OR could be added too, although you can buy trip permits at the POE in both of those states.

 

so ky and ifta are required to run them states even though i dont deliver in them?as far as or & nm ill request from agent as needed.or can i get the permits as needed in ky or ny?I drove for a o/o for 15 yrs .he didnt give to many details .kinda kept to him self .always paid me good though.He went out of business being 86 yrs old .so im on my own now .

 

KY does trip permits, but the permanent permit is easy and free, you just pay for the miles you drive in KY every quarter. NY doesn't do trip permits, that I know of. NM's permit is $5/yr, if I remember right, and again, you just pay for the miles you run every quarter. OR is a pain, you have to get a $2000 bond and file monthly, if you don't go to OR very often, it's easier just to get trip permits. And yes, if you drive through those states without picking up or delivering, you still must have the permits.

Edit-I should add that you CANNOT buy KYU trip permits at their scales, you must get them before entering the state.
