(2) Motor carriers having valid Oregon Department of Transportation authority may request that these fees be billed on a monthly basis. Accounts shall be determined to be delinquent under ORS 818.225 when: (a) Billed fees have not been paid within 60 days of the billing date; or (b) Reports from carriers used to determine fees have not been filed within 30 days of the mileage report request date.

If gross weight exceeds 900,000 pounds, the road use assessment fees will be computed by the department. (5) The road use assessment fees for any carrier may be increased based on actual weighing by State Motor Carrier Enforcement Officers and other authorized personnel or through audit by the Oregon Department of Transportation. (6) The road use assessment fees are not refundable unless the trip is not made.
