Interstate Carrier Compliance

IRP & IFTA Registration

Crossing state lines with a heavy vehicle means you need apportioned plates and a single fuel tax license. We handle IRP and IFTA so you can run legally in every jurisdiction.

What Interstate Carriers Need

If you operate across state lines with a vehicle over 26,000 lbs or with three or more axles, two registrations are mandatory. Here is what every interstate carrier needs to know.

IRP (Apportioned Plates)

The International Registration Plan issues a single license plate and cab card valid in all member jurisdictions. Fees are apportioned by the miles you run in each state. Required for interstate vehicles over 26,000 lbs or with 3+ axles.

IFTA Fuel Tax License

The International Fuel Tax Agreement replaces separate fuel permits with one license and decal covering the 48 contiguous states and Canadian provinces. You report fuel purchased and miles driven per jurisdiction.

One License, All States

Quarterly IFTA Returns

IFTA returns are due Apr 30, Jul 31, Oct 31, and Jan 31. Late or missing returns trigger penalties and interest, and can lead to license revocation. We track deadlines and file for you.

Filed Every Quarter

Mileage & Fuel Records

You must keep Individual Vehicle Mileage Records (IVMR) and fuel receipts to support both IRP and IFTA filings. Records must be retained for four years and survive an audit.

Base State Selection

Both IRP and IFTA are administered through your base jurisdiction, where your vehicles are registered and records are kept. We confirm your correct base state and register you there.
