I live in Texas and currently in the process of purchasing my truck. I plan on running my rig interstate and was wondering if I need:
1.- TXDOT #?
2.- KYU #?
3.- apportioned plates for tractor and token for trailer?
4.- Do I need a TXDOT # in order to acquire the apportioned plates?
5.- New York HUT?
I already have my MC# and USDOT #
IRP apportioned plates

Cant tell you for sure if you need a TX dot, but since you have a US dot # then i dont think so. KYU well if you plan on running through kentucky then yes, if its not on the side of your truck going through a scale you will get pulled over and have to buy a permit. Same goes for the new york sticker. You will need apportioned plates on tractor, token for trailer. Trailer is a one time registration for life, as long as you own it you shouldnt have to renew it.

I thought NY didn't have the hut sticker anymore as of two years ago?
TX has some funny ways of doing things youmay want to check at the licensing office. I would think the TXDOT is superceded by the federal numbers but you never know. I know you can run just in TX with only a TXDOT number which is something I'm considering doing, luckilly TX is a big state -
You're right MM i think they did away with the sticker, i dont step foot in that state though so i dont know for sure.
-
ya I sure never left anything there that I need to go back for that's for sure
-
still have to pay for it though but no more sticker
-
2. Only if you apportion for KY
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Wouldn't know; don't go there. -
Personaly, I do not believe you need a KYU # on the side of your truck. I see trucks in Kentucky all the time without that. Primarly the megacarriers inc.
But I put our KYU # on my truck anyways, just for my own peace of mind. Ya never know when you may run across a dick scalemaster wanting to play games or doesnt know the letter of the law. -
From 05 to 07 when I was with Landstar they didn't have KYU stickers. Said we didn't have to have the stickers any more. Kinda like the HUT.
CO used to make you get a PUC sticker, now we don't need that no more either. WTF I wish these guys would just figure it out. -
Like TX Proud said but I'm apportioned for Ky. and on the application there is no requirement for a a ky. permit but, if running your own authority may be good to have.
