OR permit

If you have a fuel bond and buy the 8.00 weight permit you have to file the mileage each quarter. If you but the trip permit there is no filing. You are only allowed a few permits per year.

 

No matter what kind of permit you have, you're going to the PUC mileage tax to Oregon. You can pay up front or send in a report later along w/ the money for however many miles you ran in the state.

 

I get that and the whole Oregon deal. I should have been more clear with my sarcasm.

According to the op you can buy a permit in OR to get a discount at Pilot Flying J's. Wow

 

I think what he's trying to say is that if he doesn't have the permit or pass number he can't get the PUC price for fuel in Oregon. He doesn't want to buy fuel there anyway, because OR doesn't belong to IFTA and even PUC fuel is more expensive than just about anywhere in the country. For rough numbers, you can add nearly 90 cents per gallon to the PUC pump price. That's if you get 6 mpg and your PUC is 15 cents per mile. Nearly eats a $100.00 bill to run I-5 up and back. PUC fuel is maybe 15 cents per gallon cheaper than CA where you get a 47 cent fuel tax credit against your IFTA bill. I know, I know those numbers are rough and maybe a little off but I just hate running Oregon with their scales every 100 miles and ridiculous speed limits and on and on and on. I don't go there unless I have to ---- and I rarely have to, thank God!

 

Going east, Troutdale TA prices will beat every state's pretax price every time. I always fill up. I don't know about CA because I just don't go there.
