Oregon · Trip & Weight-Mile
Oregon Trip Permits & Temporary Passes filed for you, 24/7
Oregon has no fuel trip permit. A truck without Oregon on its cab card runs on a 10-day Heavy Motor Vehicle Trip Permit, and over 26,000 lbs it also needs a weight-mile tax temporary pass: Oregon charges trucks by weight and miles instead of fuel tax. Ports of entry sell neither. Send us the truck and route: we quote the price and file both before the truck reaches Oregon.

Through Oregon
Main truck corridors across Oregon
Where out-of-state trucks run on an Oregon trip permit and temporary pass, and what to plan on each route.
I-5: California line to Portland
About 300 miles from Ashland through Medford, Eugene and Salem to Portland and the Columbia River.
Usually:Ten days covers the run; the temporary pass is bought for the Oregon miles you plan.
I-84: Portland to the Idaho line
The east-west route up the Columbia Gorge through The Dalles, Pendleton and Ontario.
Tip:Count the miles on both I-84 and any side trip: the pass is priced by miles.
US 97: central Oregon
The north-south route east of the Cascades, from the Columbia River through Bend to Klamath Falls and California.
Port:Klamath Falls checks trucks on US 97 north.
Heavy hauls over 98,000 lbs
For non-divisible loads over 98,000 lbs, a road use assessment fee replaces the weight-mile tax for the loaded miles.
Still needed:A temporary pass or an Oregon account, even when the whole trip is on a single-trip permit.

From our permit desk
What we check before filing in Oregon
Two credentials, not one
A truck over 26,000 lbs without Oregon plates needs the trip permit and the temporary pass. We file them together so the driver never has one without the other.
Know your Oregon miles
The temporary pass is priced by the miles you buy. Send us the route through Oregon and we size the pass to it, with room for a detour.
Running Oregon often? Enroll
After five passes for one unit, or 35 per account in 12 months, Oregon expects the carrier to enroll in the weight-mile tax program. We tell you when you get close.
FAQ
Oregon trip and fuel permit questions
Does Oregon have a fuel trip permit?
No. Trucks over 26,000 lbs pay Oregon's weight-mile tax instead of fuel tax, and a carrier without an Oregon account buys a temporary pass. Trucks of 26,000 lbs or less pay fuel tax at the pump.
How long is an Oregon trip permit valid?
Ten days. The temporary pass also runs ten days, or until the miles bought are used. Both have to be in place before the truck operates in Oregon.
Who needs a weight-mile temporary pass?
A carrier without an Oregon weight-mile tax account running a truck whose truck, trailer and load weigh over 26,000 lbs. The pass costs a fee plus the tax for the miles in Oregon.
Can I buy Oregon permits at the port of entry?
No. Oregon's ports of entry do not sell licensing or registration. Get the trip permit and temporary pass before the truck reaches the state; we file both for you ahead of time.
What changes for temporary passes in 2027?
From July 1, 2027 Oregon simplifies the weight-mile tax. Carriers on temporary passes will pay based on the Oregon registered weight shown on their cab card.
How does Route One GO get my Oregon trip permit and pass?
Send us the truck, USDOT number, plate, weight and the route through Oregon. Our permit desk files the trip permit and the temporary pass and sends them back before the truck reaches the state. Requests are taken 24/7.
