A New Mexico Trip Permit is required for commercial vehicles exceeding 18,000 pounds or operating with three or more axles that are not properly registered under IRP for the state. New Mexico applies a lower weight threshold than most jurisdictions. Carriers operating at 26,000 pounds or more are also subject to the state's Weight Distance Tax. Securing temporary registration authority before entry is essential for compliance.
