Yes. A dump truck or concrete mixer that travels public highways and has a taxable gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more files Form 2290 like any other heavy highway vehicle.

The narrow exception

There is a limited exception for certain specially designed mobile machinery that does not carry a load over the road and that meets specific IRS tests. It is narrow. A standard dump truck or mixer that hauls material on public highways does not qualify. If you think your equipment might, confirm it against current IRS guidance rather than guess.

Bottom line

  • Dump truck or mixer over 55,000 pounds on public highways: files Form 2290.
  • Specialized off road machinery that meets the IRS tests: may be outside the tax, but verify.
