New Mexico Weight Distance Tax (WDT)

All motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies that haul across state lines or within a state that adheres to the UCR program, are required to register their US DOT Numbers with the Unified Carrier Registration.
All UCR filings will be completed during normal business hours.

Starting January 1, 2024, all relevant companies in the trucking industry, that lack Unified Carrier Registration compliance, may be subjected to citations, fines, and penalties imposed by individual states, the DOT and the board of the Unified Carrier Registration. You will also not be allowed to renew your trucks' registrations as well as IFTA. In order to ensure complete compliance, the aforementioned freight hauling companies are advised to verify that the number of trucks requiring registration matches the amount listed on the MCS-150 / Biennial Update that was last filed (this number will affect filing fee and truck tier pricing). Please note, pricing is for the UCR filing fee, processing fee, filing fee and there may be additional fees for processing time as well as a certificate.


For brokers, it is recommended to complete this registration under the 1-2 trucks section if business operations include interstate activity (if brokering any loads outside of the state the company is operating in).

Please note, the total listed fee at checkout is for the UCR fee as assessed by the UCR board for the year and the number of trucks registered, service charge, and there may be additional fees for processing time.
New Mexico Weight Distance Tax Permit is a requirement from owners, operators, and registrants, of interstate and intrastate commercial vehicles, when traveling through and operating in New Mexico.

Regardless of having an IFTA license, owners must declare their vehicle if a gross weight or gross vehicle weight is 26,000 pounds or greater. The tax is based at a rate determined by the weight of the vehicle and miles traveled on New Mexico Highways. Any registrar is under a requirement to renew their permit annually. An entity subject to the weight-distance tax permit (WDT) is under a requirement to file a New Mexico weight distance tax return on a quarterly basis. There is a requirement to pay the tax due to the MVD.

Please note, the fee per truck includes the filing fee
