All carriers, inter-or intrastate, that travel on Kentucky roadways and whose vehicles weigh 60,000 lbs. or more (up to 80,000 lbs., beyond which point you would need an u003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underline;u0022u003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.overweightpermits.com/kentucky/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eoverweight permitu003c/au003eu003c/spanu003e) need to get this license or a temporary permit. The KYU permit is a fixed mileage tax that does not change based on the weight of your vehicle. Kentucky offers permanent registrations for those who will make multiple trips to and through the state, as well as temporary 10-day permits.u003c/pu003enu003cpu003eThe Kentucky Intrastate Tax, or KIT, is a fuel consumption tax. This tax requires any u003cstrongu003eKentucky-basedu003c/strongu003e vehicle with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds (or 10,000 pounds if the vehicle has more than two axles) to pay a tax on fuel usage within the state of Kentucky. The tax rate is higher for special fuels, such as diesel, than it is for regular gasoline. KIT is effectively the Kentucky-only version of IFTA, meaning if you are registered for IFTA, you do not need a KIT number or to file KIT returns.u003c/pu003en
