An Overview of South Dakota Trucking Permits

The weight-distance tax permit is one of the most important trucking permits for South Carolina. This permit requires you to pay an annual fee based on the miles traveled within the state border. The amount you need to pay is calculated by multiplying the total distance traveled by a certain weight tax rate. You may also need to file quarterly reports and make payments during these periods as well.

In addition to a weight-distance tax permit, you may also need an oversize/overweight permit if your loads exceed legal limits set by South Carolina regulations. This type of permit allows for larger vehicles and heavier loads beyond what is allowed under normal circumstances. However, it’s important that you adhere to all laws and regulations when obtaining this type of permit, or risk facing hefty fines for violations.

If your business uses diesel fuel in any way, then you will need a fuel tax permit from the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR). This type of permit ensures that your company pays its fair share of taxes on fuel purchases and allows for easy reporting and payment for taxes due at designated times throughout the year.

What Permits Are Required for South Dakota?

  • DOT Number

    South Dakota is a key state when it comes to commercial trucking. Every commercial truck operation operating in South Dakota requires a DOT number registration. A DOT number stands for Department of Transportation number, and is required by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT) as an important identifier used to track and monitor Commercial Motor Vehicle safety information. There are several processes that South Dakota enacted regarding the issuance and renewal of DOT numbers, including a valid physical address located within South Dakota, certificate or proof of authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, management information systems showing all fleet data owned or managed by the company operating trucks in South Dakota and more. It is critical for South Dakota operators to understand all the details and policies related to DOT numbers if they want their vehicles on the road.

  • Federal MC Authority

    South Dakota requires motor carriers operating in commercial trucking to have an authority number issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). South Dakota's designation of motor carrier authority is commonly referred to as an MC number. To obtain and maintain a South Dakota MC number, motor carriers must comply with federal safety regulations set forth by the FMCSA. South Dakota actively enforces those regulations and issues authorization according to FMCSA standards. The South Dakota Department of Public Safety oversees all motor carriers within South Dakota ensuring that operations are conducted safely and responsibly on public roadways within their state.

  • BOC-3 Filing

    BOC-3 is a federal filing that is required for commercial trucking companies that want to travel through South Dakota. This filing, known as the "Process Agent Designation Form", must be completed by any trucking company that wishes to drive through South Dakota, and it needs to be filed with the South Dakota Motor Carrier Services Bureau. The purpose of this filing is to assign an agent, in South Dakota, that can accept legal process on behalf of the company if called upon. South Dakota requires this filing so they can receive important documents and notifications from federal, state and local governments quickly and efficiently. Commercial truckers need to file a BOC-3 before they are allowed on South Dakota roads, so it is important to do prior planning before traveling.

  • UCR Filing

    The South Dakota-based Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) system is a state-sponsored filing program, designed to assist with commercial trucking regulations. It requires businesses based in the United States that operate a fleet of commercial vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds to register their fleet and pay an annual fee. The UCR was created to replace the old Single State Registration System and helps to ensure that all commercial truckers remain compliant with state regulations and fees. This registration process is heavily beneficial for commercial truckers as it ensures that their fleet remains in good standing and allows them to keep on running their business without any problems with local authorities.

  • 2290 HVUT

    South Dakota is one of many states that require commercial trucking companies to pay a 2290 heavy vehicle use tax (HVUT). The IRS established this tax in addition to other fees and licensing charges, designed to encourage truck owners to maintain their vehicles up-to-standard. When filing form 2290 with the IRS, South Dakota truck owners must provide detailed information about each vehicle registered in the state. With the payment of these taxes and additional administrative fees, South Dakota commercial truckers can keep their vehicle properly insured and operate safely on South Dakota roads.

Randy Barnard
I was contacted by Agent Joe, and he was very patient in the endless questions I had for commercial trucking insurance and educated me in great lengths which I was very appreciative. I personally couldn’t ask for a more customer oriented team they have here at TIS. It took us a couple of days to get insurance, but it was only because of my lack of knowledge that was correct and made it possible for Joe to get everything set up and he got back to me within the hour with a quote. Now I’m working with Omar which is their operation manager, and he too is very quick at making my insurance experience painless they even have a permit department that can submit all permits needed if you didn’t have time. Much respect to you guys for making my new ventures a possibly and less stressful. Thanks 🙏🏽 everyone at TIS for putting your clients first!!!
