For example, if you get your truck during November, you are expected to pay
Heavy Vehicle Use Tax by December 31. The December due date is the same no
matter if you got your truck at the beginning of November or towards the end of
the month. If you plan your purchase and first use on a public highway toward
the beginning of the month, you can have up to two months to pay the tax.
