Michigan interstate motor carriers typically operate at 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight unless permitted for oversize/overweight moves under the Federal Bridge Formula.

Fuel Tax & IFTA Nuances

Interstate carriers report fuel tax through quarterly IFTA filings including all miles traveled in Michigan and member jurisdictions.

Weigh Station Operations

Michigan DOT commercial vehicle enforcement uses fixed weigh stations and mobile CMV inspection teams along primary freight corridors.
