West Virginia Weight-Distance Tax
No weight-distance or highway-use tax in West Virginia. Nobody hands you a per-mile bill at the scale here. You still owe IFTA fuel tax reported 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 annual, capped at $550). Those three are the same everywhere. West Virginia just doesn't stack a state weight-distance tax on top.
