Dave,
Trip permits are nothing new, I started dealing with
them in the early seventies when I bought a semi.
Having a permit for each state I traveled in was only
a part of it. Every quarter, I had to send a report to
each state that I had a permit for. The report showed
a total of miles traveled and fuel purchased. Since I
was a fuel dealer, I'd leave NJ with full tanks (wholesale)
and usually make a loop traveling through several states.
I had to report my average m.p.g., miles traveled and
fuel purchased in each state that I reported to. I rarely
bought fuel on the road, so I had to calculate how
much fuel I used in a state and then send the tax. If
I used enough fuel out-of-state, I'd get a credit with
NJ on taxes paid on my NJ fuel purchases. I never got
a credit because my NJ mileage far exceeded other
travel, so a gallon of NJ fuel would at times be taxed
by up to three states. I did not want to purchase fuel
while on the road, I liked my Mobil, so I paid.
