There are many laws and regulations associated with the trucking industry to ensure the safety of drivers, clients, passengers, and pedestrians. These laws and regulations also involve fuel tax, size and weight standards, environmental regulations, and more. Here are some rules and regulations all truckers and aspiring owner-operators should comply with:
- BOC-3 FilingBOC-3 filing regulations require carriers to have a designated process agent to whom court papers may be served in a legal proceeding. They need a process agent in every state where they maintain an office or establish contracts. For assistance, our company can help you comply with the trucking authority in Illinois.
- International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)The IFTA is an agreement between the lower 48 U.S. states and Canadian provinces that helps simplify the reporting of fuel use by carriers who drive in multiple states. The agreement requires carriers to file a quarterly fuel tax report to determine their tax distribution in each state.
- Heavy Vehicle Use TaxLaws and regulations also depend on the size and weight of your vehicle. Trucks exceeding 55,000 pounds must pay an annual tax to help fund highway programs.
