An Overview of Nebraska Trucking Permits
The Requirements for Obtaining a Permit in Nebraska
The type of permit needed for trucking in Nebraska depends on the size and weight of your vehicle. Different classes of vehicles require different types of permits. For example, if you have an overweight or over-length vehicle, then you may need an overweight/over-length permit. Likewise, if you have a hazardous materials vehicle then you may need a hazardous materials permit. In addition to these standard permits, there are also special permits required for certain situations such as oversized loads or construction work.
What Permits Are Required for Nebraska?
DOT Number
Nebraska commercial trucking companies must obtain and maintain a US Department of Transportation (DOT) number in order to engage in interstate commerce. The DOT number is an identifying marker assigned to a business operating commercial motor vehicles which ensures that the company adheres to certain rules and safety standards, including dangerous materials regulations and drug and alcohol testing requirements. Nebraska's strict adherence to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's rules and regulations keeps highways safe, making Nebraska a great place for commercial trucking businesses.
Federal MC Authority
Nebraska is home to many commercial trucking operations, but operators have to go through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to get their Motor Carrier (MC) number. This MC number allows Nebraska motor carriers to legally operate commercial vehicles across state lines and throughout the country. The FMCSA sets forth specific regulations that Nebraska motor carriers must abide by in order to continue running their businesses. These regulations make sure Nebraska motor carriers are up to standards and safe, providing a framework for how they exercise their federal MC authority.
BOC-3 Filing
A BOC-3 filing is a federal filing requirement for commercial trucking companies that travel across Nebraska and other states. This document serves as a way to designate a representative so the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles can contact the company in regards to things like taxes, registrations, and insurance issues. All motor carriers are required to submit this filing if they want to operate in multiple states. Failing to submit one can result in hefty fines as well as an inability for carriers to pick up or deliver loads across state lines until the form is completed and approved for completion. For Nebraska businesses seeking success across state borders, having a BOC-3 filed correctly is essential.
UCR Filing
Nebraska is home to one of the largest commercial trucking fleets in the country, and all Nebraska-based truckers need to ensure they're complying with regulations on a federal level as well. This is where the Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) filing comes in. UCR filings are intended to collect fees from all commercial carriers operating vehicles with a gross weight of 10,001 pounds or more across Nebraska and other states. These revenues help Nebraska fund operations for motor vehicle enforcement activities, ensuring that all truckers remain in compliance and can safely operate their vehicles on Nebraska roads. For Nebraska-based truckers, understanding and following through with UCR filings is an essential part of doing business and keeping operations compliant across multiple states.
2290 HVUT
Nebraska commercial trucking companies must adhere to the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) 2290 set by the IRS. This tax is an annual requirement for operators of any vehicle that has a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more and are being used for commercial purposes on any Nebraska federal highway. Companies must pay their 2290 HVUT each fiscal year in order to stay compliant with Nebraska highway safety regulations and receive renewal tags. With the funds collected, Nebraska is able to keep up with much needed improvement projects related to its roads and bridges, ultimately providing a safer driving experience for all Nebraska residents
