Understanding the Kentucky Weight Distance (KYU) Permit

Kentucky requires certain motor carriers operating vehicles above 59,999 lbs. weight thresholds to obtain a KYU number and report mileage for the state's weight distance tax. If you operate qualifying vehicles in Kentucky, you may need: a KYU account number; temporary KYU permit for occasional trips; quarterly weight distance tax filings; account updates and renewals. Failure to comply can result in penalties, fines, and operating restrictions. We simplify the process and ensure your filings are handled correctly. You may need a Kentucky Weight Distance permit if: your vehicle meets Kentucky's qualifying gross weight threshold of 60,000 lbs or higher; you operate in Kentucky for commercial purposes; you generate taxable miles within the state.
