<strong>Oregon</strong> Motor Carrier Registration & Tax Manual<br />
More Than One Configuration – A <strong>carrier</strong> may have one declared weight for<br />
each vehicle configuration during a reporting period. It may be to the <strong>carrier</strong>’s<br />
advantage to declare more than one combination weight when operating with different<br />
vehicle configurations. When operating over 80,000 pounds, the highest weight must<br />
be declared in addition to an 80,000 pound declaration. Records must be maintained<br />
to support operations at each declared weight.<br />
In this example, two trailers are pulled to the first stop. The declared weight for this<br />
configuration is 78,000 pounds.<br />
The second trailer is dropped at this stop, and the vehicle continues on pulling the<br />
single trailer. The declared weight for this configuration is 48,000 pounds.<br />
Dropping the trailer changed the configuration, allowing the <strong>carrier</strong> to report the miles<br />
operated at a different weight declaration.<br />
Raising a lift-axle is NOT considered a change in configuration.<br />
