Maryland Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in Maryland. No per-mile scale-house bill here. You still owe IFTA fuel tax filed quarterly, IRP apportioned registration split by the miles you run, and at 55,000 lb or more the federal 2290 HVUT (IRS Form 2290, flat, capped at $550). That trio is the shared floor in every state. Maryland just adds no weight-distance tax on top of it.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Maryland, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
