Maine Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in Maine. Nothing separate to register, no per-mile return to file here. You still owe IFTA fuel tax, carry an IRP apportioned plate, and at 55,000 lb and up file the federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax on IRS Form 2290, the same as every state.
