All-In-One Solution for Trucking Permits in New Mexico
If you plan to operate only within New Mexico, you’ll be classified as an intrastate motor carrier. Running an intrastate trucking company means fewer federal regulations than for interstate carriers, making compliance simpler. New Mexico’s diverse economy offers strong demand for trucking across sectors like energy, agriculture, and mining. However, an intrastate license limits your operations to only in-state hauls. If you’re ready to operate as an intrastate carrier, we’ll help you meet the specific requirements to keep your business compliant and running smoothly.
If you’re starting a trucking company in New Mexico, forming a business entity in the state is a key first step. We can assist with establishing your New Mexico LLC or Corporation, both of which provide liability protection and tax benefits. Forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in New Mexico helps protect personal assets and offers flexibility for taxes. Our team guides you through the entire process, including choosing a unique name and filing required paperwork with the state. We also assist in obtaining your IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN), which is essential for operations and tax purposes.
Operating a trucking business in New Mexico requires several key permits. Common ones include a USDOT number, MC number (for interstate operations), BOC-3, Unified Carrier Registration (UCR), and the New Mexico International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). Depending on your operations, you may need additional permits. Contact us to learn which permits you’ll need to operate legally in New Mexico, and let us handle the process for you.
Extra Trucking Permit Requirements for New Mexico
New Mexico imposes a weight-distance tax on commercial vehicles, requiring a permit for carriers traveling within the state. We handle the paperwork to help you obtain and maintain this permit so that you stay compliant with state requirements.
IRP Apportioned Plates
If you operate across state lines, you’ll need IRP apportioned plates, which allow your truck’s registration and taxes to be shared between states. Our team helps New Mexico trucking companies complete this process accurately and on time.
IFTA Registration, Stickers, and Report Filings
New Mexico interstate carriers must register with IFTA to manage fuel taxes. We provide IFTA registration and ensure you receive the necessary decals, plus we handle your quarterly reports for ongoing compliance.
2290 (HVUT) Tax Filing for New Mexico Trucking Companies
Filing your Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290) is required for trucks operating in New Mexico. Missing deadlines can lead to IRS penalties, so our team manages the entire filing process to keep your business in compliance.
Trucking Factoring in New Mexico
Once you haul your first load in New Mexico, you’ll need reliable cash flow. Most brokers and shippers pay on NET-30 terms, meaning it may take 30 days to receive payment. With our factoring services, you can access immediate cash for essential expenses like fuel, maintenance, and payroll. We also provide fuel advances, free credit checks, and professional collections, letting you keep your focus on growing your business.
Permit Management and FMCSA Compliance for New Mexico Trucking Companies
Staying compliant can be a challenge with so many permits to renew. Our Permit Management Service handles renewals and FMCSA compliance so you don’t have to track multiple deadlines. Our My Trucking Manager program offers a user-friendly platform to access permits, receive renewal reminders, and store compliance documents like Driver Qualification Files (DQF) and maintenance records. With guaranteed compliance, you can focus on running your business, knowing that USA Truck Permits has your permit management covered.
