IRP renewal: apportioned plates, who needs them and when they renew

The International Registration Plan, IRP, is an agreement among the US states and Canadian provinces. Instead of registering a truck in every state it drives through, you register once in your base jurisdiction. That state issues the apportioned plate and cab card and splits your fees among the places you actually ran, by miles.

Who needs apportioned plates

A carrier that runs a qualifying truck in two or more member jurisdictions. States describe qualifying vehicles in nearly the same terms: a power unit with a licensed weight over 26,000 pounds, or with more than two axles, or one used in a combination over 26,000 pounds. Details differ by state, so read your base state's IRP manual.

Who issues them, and when they renew

Your base state's IRP office handles everything: the application, the mileage reports, the fees. Registrations renew yearly. The date is set by your base state and shows on your cab card, which is why we ask you to enter it instead of guessing.

What you do each year

• Report the miles each truck ran in each state last year.
• Add or remove trucks as your fleet changes.
• Pay the apportioned fees.
• Carry the new cab card in each truck.

Haul10 does not file IRP. In your record you can enter the renewal date from your cab card and we'll remind you before it. IRP dates are not in any open data we can read.
