Form 2290 for Log trucks in Florida
A typical log truck registers around 80,000 lbs, putting its 2026–2027 Heavy Vehicle Use Tax at about $413 (log trucks qualify for reduced logging rates). The 2290 requirement starts at 55,000 lbs taxable gross weight — many log trucks are over it, some aren't, so the registered weight on your Florida registration decides.
Does your log truck owe HVUT?
The test is registered taxable gross weight, not vehicle category: 55,000 lbs and up files Form 2290. A heavy log truck registered at 80,000 lbs owes $413 for the full year at logging rates (regular-use rate would be $550). Check the weight on your cab card — that's the number the IRS cares about.
Typical weights for log trucks
Log trucks commonly register between 55,000 and 80,000 lbs depending on configuration and load. At 55,000 lbs the tax is $100; it rises $22 per 1,000 lbs to the $550 cap at 75,000+. Use the calculator below with your exact registered weight for the precise figure.
Filing it from Florida
E-file with your EIN, the VIN, and the weight category; the watermarked Schedule 1 arrives in minutes and is what Florida requires at registration. Low-mileage log trucks (under 5,000 miles, 7,500 agricultural) file as suspended for $0 but still get the Schedule 1.
