Do You Need a Kentucky Trip Permit?

In Kentucky, temporary authorization is mandatory for non-apportioned carriers from other states. One will require an IRP Trip Permit if his or her vehicle is doing interstate business and fulfills the following conditions:

Weights Tolerances: Your power unit or your combination of power unit and trailer have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or registered weight greater than 26,000 pounds.
Axle Tolerances: Your vehicle comes equipped with three or more axles, irrespective of its weight.
Credentials Inadequacies: Your vehicle does not have an IFTA registration with IRP at present.
Compliance Notice: In case you don't have an IFTA license that is valid, then you will also need a Kentucky Fuel Permit to comply with the motor fuel use taxes laws of the state.

Permit Validity and Requirements

If you have a temporary license in the State of Kentucky, be well prepared. Your documents should be properly arranged before crossing state borders because the enforcement agencies may ask you for proof of compliance.

Validity Period of Permit: The Kentucky Permit is valid for 10 days from the effective starting point.
Proof: It is always important to have a copy of the permit with you either physically or digitally in your vehicle.
Vehicle Specific: The permit is VIN-specific and cannot be transferred to other vehicles.

A Note on the KYU (Weight-Distance Tax)

If your commercial vehicle has a gross vehicle weight in excess of 59,999 lbs, then you will be required to pay the weight distance tax on the vehicle in Kentucky, which is known as KYU tax.

Rare Entry: For infrequent entry into Kentucky, you can apply for a 10-day Temporary KYU Permit.
Recurring Operations: If your company operates regularly in Kentucky, getting a Permanent KYU Number would be a lot cheaper and easier than buying temporary permits on an ongoing basis.
