Operating interstate requires more than just an active FMCSA authority. To legally run across state lines, carriers must complete IRP (International Registration Plan) and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) registrations.

Why IRP & IFTA are essential?

The International Registration Plan (IRP) gives you apportioned license plates and a cab card—so your vehicles can legally travel across all participating states with just one registration.

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) streamlines fuel tax compliance by eliminating state-by-state filings—allowing you to report and pay through a single base jurisdiction.

Without them, you risk:

Fines, penalties, violations or being placed out of service.
