    I think you meant to say weight-distance tax for those 4 states.

    True for almost all motor carriers, but there are certain exemptions for IFTA by state.

    IFTA, Inc.

    I've mostly come I'm from boise. I think it was $40 up to WA. I don't remember Portland but those trips were few.

    Usually $60 for NM.

    The purpose of IFTA and the weight-distance tax is to pay for the construction and maintenance of public roads, although it’s possible the revenue is also used for other expenses. Road taxes need to be paid one way or another, whether it’s through fuel taxes, weight-distance taxes, or toll fees. It is what it is.

    IFTA is a fuel tax based on the miles driven per state and the gallons purchased in each state. Weight-distance tax is based on your weight and the miles driven in a particular state (OR, NM, KY, and NY).

    Robbed blind by whoever he is leased onto.

    Why would you say do NOT buy or fill in ma or ct?? Fuel tax in ma is .265 Fuel tax in ct is .465 if going thru ct you actually BETTER get some fuel there.
    Fuel tax rates can be found all over the internet. I use the fuel book app because it lists all the prices. Either by state, along route, or buy chain. Then lists them by cheapest, closest, or pre ifta
