Out of state commercial vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight of 10,001 pounds or more are now required to get a temporary registration permit before entering Nevada. See the AB 372 Notice (updated with FAQs).

See a summary of all 2009 legislation affecting motor carriers in the Motor Carrier Newsletter.

Diesel Emissions
Nevada-based diesel vehicles up to 14,000 pounds GVWR require annual emissions testing as of July 1, 2009. This applies to all initial registrations and renewals regardless of any expiration date. See Diesel Emissions.

New Jersey has revised its opacity cutpoints. See their brochure.

Oversize and Overweight Permits
The Nevada Department of Transportation’s expanded web site is your best source for current information and the latest route restrictions on your over-sized and overweight vehicle permits. Due to the high cost of postage and our high number of clients (now over 1400), NDOT will not be using bulk mail in the future to provide you updated restrictions or instructions. See:

UCR REGISTRATION
If you operate any truck or bus in interstate commerce, you must register with the federal Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) program. Nevada is a non-participating state and does not offer this service. However, Nevada-based carriers must comply with UCR. You must register with a participating state. Online registration is available at www.ucr.in.gov or see UCR Contacts.
