Which state permits does this run need?

Most carriers find out about Kentucky or New Mexico the expensive way. There is no free tool that answers this—the space is blog posts and $150 filing services—so here is one. Enter the run and it tells you what fires, what does not, and what we simply do not cover.

Use your licensed or declared weight, not what the scale says today—that is what most of these thresholds key off.

Set the run above and press the button. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is nothing to sign up for—the whole thing runs in this browser.

What we did not check

We hold rules for four states—Kentucky, New Mexico, New York and Oregon—plus the federal weight and width limits. Nothing else.

The corridor is a guess at which states you cross, weighted by distance. It is not a routed highway and knows nothing about where the Interstates run, so correct it.

We also cannot see your axle count, and a vehicle with three or more axles can owe IFTA whatever it weighs. Thresholds as captured 24 July 2026. Informational only, not legal advice—confirm with the state before you run it.

What we cover, and what we do not

Four weight-distance states, plus the federal weight and width limits. That is it, and we would rather say so than imply the other 44 are clear.

We do not price OS/OW permits. Fees, escorts, curfews and seasonal frost laws vary by state and change constantly. We tell you the permit is triggered; the state tells you what it costs.
Height and length are not federal. There is no federal height limit at all—states set their own, from 13’6” to 15’—and federal law sets a 48 ft floor for semitrailers rather than a 53 ft ceiling. We flag those as state questions, not federal breaches.
We do not file anything. Links go to the state, not to a permit broker. We take no referral fee from anyone.
The corridor is a guess. Shortest path across state lines, not a routed highway. Correct it in the tool—that is what the chips are for.
Absence is not clearance. A state we do not cover shows as not covered. It never shows as fine.

Doing this once is a minute. Doing it on every load, against the permits you actually hold, and knowing whether buying one pays for itself in the freight it opens up—that is the part we built into the system that runs your loads.
