Camera as ‘research prompt’ [Travel day]

I have long wondered about “KYU” on tractor trailer trucks, so this photo had the purpose of prompting me to find out.

“KYU is a tax license issued for all carriers traveling on Kentucky roadways with a combined license weight greater than 59,999 pounds. The tax rate is 0.0285 cents per mile. You can also purchase a one-time temporary KYU Permit per truck if you are not making regular trips through the state of Kentucky.” —Kentucky Weight Distance

So what about “MC,” you ask?
“In general, companies that do the following are required to have interstate Operating Authority (MC number) in addition to a DOT number:

    • Transport passengers in interstate commerce (for a fee or other compensation, whether direct or indirect)
    • Transport federally-regulated commodities owned by others or arranging for their transport, (for a fee or other compensation, in interstate commerce)

“FMCSA operating authority is often identified as an "MC," "FF," or "MX" number, depending on the type of authority that is granted.” —Get Authority to Operate
