For a commercial truck operating in Alaska, here are the official government fees we track: Temporary trip permit and Oversize/overweight single-trip permit.

Federal fees also apply everywhere
Whatever state you run in, federal credentials apply on top of Alaska's fees: your USDOT number (free), MC operating authority ($300 per authority type), the annual Unified Carrier Registration, and the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290). A brand-new carrier's full first-90-days list is in the new MC authority checklist.

- How much is a temporary trip permit in Alaska?
- Alaska's official temporary trip permit fee is $350. That's the state's price before any permit-service or wire-service markup; the source and verification date are in the table above.
- How do I get a truck permit in Alaska?
- It depends on which permit you need. An oversize/overweight single-trip permit covers a load over legal size or weight; a temporary trip permit stands in for IRP registration for a truck not apportioned in Alaska; a temporary fuel permit stands in for an IFTA license. Alaska issues them through dot.alaska.gov and dmv.alaska.gov — the official fee for each is in the table above, and the agency link in each row is where you apply. Permit services and wire services can file for you, but they add a service charge to the same state fee.

- Every figure on this page was read from an official Alaska government source (a DMV, DOT, revenue, or PUC page or statute), independently re-checked, and dated; the source link and verification date are in each row.
