$100 (filing) + $300 annual report
Maryland State Department of Assessments & Taxation (dat.maryland.gov)
$5,600–$10,800/yr for a single tandem — DC-metro operators pay the top of the range
Maryland MVA Motor Carrier Division + MDOT SHA for permits
Maryland is a strict enforcement state — 80,000 lb GVW cap, and overweight permits are route-specific through MDOT SHA. Tri-axle is dominant; the I-95 corridor pulls DC-metro rates.
Real winter shutdown Dec–Feb on rural sites; DC-metro commercial runs through winter with weather delays. Spring thaw restrictions on western MD posted roads.
Whiting-Turner (HQ'd in Baltimore), Clark Construction, and Manhattan Construction lead the region. Aggregate side: Vulcan and Martin Marietta run most of the pits.
The full course includes a 500+ GC and aggregate supplier directory (with Maryland contacts), the exact LLC/USDOT/insurance sequence, and the pricing math for every material listed above.
