Weight of the maximum load customarily carried on the vehicle and on any trailers or semi-trailers customarily used in combination with the vehicle.

Check or Money Order Payment
Credit Card or Debit Card (This will require the user to visit a third-party website to make the payment)

If you are making a Direct Debit Payment, attach the bank account statement. If you selected to make a payment with the EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System), attach the acknowledgment obtained from the EFTPS. And if using the Credit Card or Debit Card method, you can attach the receipt with a copy of Schedule 1.
