The numbers, without the phone call.
Every calculator below runs on the official published schedule — the same versioned rate data the TruePermit engine files with. No signup, no email, no markup on a government fee. For a personalized read of which obligations apply to your fleet, start with the free USDOT compliance check.
Trip & permits
- Broker authority checkType the MC or USDOT number from the rate confirmation and read FMCSA's live record: broker authority active or not, the BMC-84/85 surety bond on file against the $75,000 minimum, allowed to operate, MCS-150 current. Dated, source-linked, and honest about what no public record shows — payment history isn't in it. Free, no signup.
- Load profit calculatorEnter the lane, the truck and the rate on the confirmation. A truck-legal route splits the miles by state; the same engines the TruePermit product files with price the fuel tax, weight-distance taxes and permits; this week's EIA diesel price, tolls and your own driver, fixed and maintenance figures complete the cost. You get the net, net per mile, profit per hour, the break-even rate and one call: accept, negotiate (with the counter to ask), or decline. Three runs a day free.
- Trip cost calculatorEnter origin, destination and combined weight — a truck-legal route splits the miles by state, and the same engines the TruePermit product files with price the run: IFTA fuel tax, weight-distance taxes, and official per-trip permit fees. One number for the whole trip. Three runs a day free, no signup; a free account lifts the limit.
- Permit quote checkerEnter what a permit service quoted you and see the government's own published fee next to it — federal filings (MC authority, UCR-adjacent items) and every state's trip, fuel and credential fees, each with its official source and verification date. The markup, made visible. Free, no signup.
- Route permit checkerPick the states your run touches, enter the combined weight, and see every permit, tax account and credential that route requires — with official per-trip permit fees if you don't hold IRP or IFTA. Free, no signup.
Safety & ELD
- Violation code lookupType the code from your roadside inspection report — or describe the violation — and get FMCSA's official answer: what the cite means, its severity weight (0–10), which CSA BASIC it lands in, whether it hits the driver's own record, and what to do next. All 2,400+ codes from the official SMS Appendix A list. Free, no signup.
- ELD exemption checkerAnswer seven questions and get a citation-backed verdict: ELD required, paper logs allowed, short-haul time records, or exempt — straight from 49 CFR 395.1 and 395.8, with what's still required either way. Free, no signup.
State weight-distance tax
- New York HUT calculatorEnter your truck's gross weight and taxable New York miles and get the Highway Use Tax from the state's official gross-weight rate table. Free, no signup.
- Kentucky KYU calculatorEnter your Kentucky miles and get the KYU weight-distance tax owed at the official flat rate for vehicles of 60,000 lbs and over. Free, no signup.
- New Mexico WDT calculatorEnter declared gross weight and New Mexico miles and get the weight-distance tax from the schedule now in force — including the July 1, 2026 rate increase most sites still miss.
- Oregon weight-mile calculatorEnter declared weight and Oregon taxable miles and get the weight-mile tax from ODOT's official Table A (26,001–80,000 lbs). Free, no signup.
- Connecticut HUF calculatorEnter gross weight and Connecticut miles and get the Highway Use Fee from the DRS per-mile schedule (26,000 lbs and up, including the 80,001+ rate). Free, no signup.
Federal filings
- MCS-150 due date calculatorYour MCS-150 deadline is encoded in your USDOT number and FMCSA doesn't remind you. Enter the number and get your exact biennial update month and year.
- UCR fee calculatorEnter your power units and see your exact UCR registration fee from the official bracket table — plus the broker/leasing rule and the final 2027 fee that takes effect October 1.

Calculators are planning estimates built on each agency's official published schedule, with the verification date shown on every page. They are not filings and not tax advice — always confirm against the administering agency before you file.
