How it works
Every state multiplies the taxable miles by a rate per mile that depends on the vehicle's weight. What changes is the table and the weight it is read at: the combined licensed weight in Kentucky, the gross weight for laden miles and the unloaded weight for empty miles in New York, the declared gross weight in New Mexico, the declared weight and the axles in Oregon, the gross weight and the vehicle class in Connecticut. The tax is rounded to the cent on each line.
Sample data: one 80,000 lb tractor with 1,200 Kentucky miles, 900 New York miles (150 empty), 1,500 New Mexico miles, 1,000 Oregon miles and 300 Connecticut miles owes KYU $34.20, NY HUT $43.05, NM WDT $88.65, OR WMT $251.20, CT HUF $30.00: $447.10 for the quarter.
Several trucks: add them; each state then shows the fleet total and each truck its own line. The same trucks and miles are used on the single-state pages and by Pro.
