International Registration Plan (IRP) for Trucking Companies

Introduction
The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a critical arrangement for companies who transport cargo between various countries. It simplifies the procedure of reporting mileage and paying taxes in each state or province where a vehicle travel. If you want to learn more about the IRP and how to register your automobiles, you’ve come to the correct spot. At IRP Trucks, we’re here to help you through the whole procedure.

What is the International Registration Plan (IRP)?
The IRP is a reciprocity agreement between U.S. states and Canadian provinces that aims to make it easier to register commercial vehicles that travel across various jurisdictions. Under this agreement, carriers are required to declare their mileage in each state or province and pay the applicable taxes on an annual basis.
Who must register under the IRP?
If your vehicle satisfies any of the following conditions, you must register with the IRP:
Has a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or higher.
Has at least three axles, regardless of weight.
If a power unit or trailer with a gross weight greater than 26,000 pounds.
IRP plates and vehicle cards.
Once your IRP and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) accounts have been established, you will be issued an Apportioned License Plate for the power unit as well as an Apportioned Cab Card. The Cab Card specifies all of the permitted states and provinces where your vehicle can lawfully operate.
