No matter if you are an owner operator, trucking company, fleet manager, leased operator from Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, New York, or any other state in the United States, this checklist will assist you in filing correctly.

The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax will depend on the taxable gross weight of your vehicle and the month in which you first put your vehicle into use in the tax year.
