The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Commerce and Compliance Division previously required a motor carrier to establish a bond before signing up for the state’s weight-mile tax program. The bond makes sure a motor carrier properly reports and pays weight-mile taxes, according to the Oregon DOT. “The bond waiver requirements themselves have not changed.” Oregon will shift from bonding every motor carrier that enters the state to focusing on carriers that require a bond based on their Oregon Trucking Online account history. “There’s a lot that goes into it,” said Crystal Minardi, supervisor of the OOIDA Permits and Licensing department.
