Permit Options and More...

---

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is a base state fuel tax agreement that covers 48 U.S. states, District of Columbia and Canada. Any person based in a state operating a Qualified Motor Vehicle in two or more other states is required to license under this agreement or purchase Temporary Fuel Permits for travel in other states.

Farm vehicles, special mobile equipment and buses are subject to IFTA Licensing requirements if they meet the gross vehicle weight or axle criteria and cross state lines.

 The International Registration Plan (IRP) is an agreement that covers 48 U.S. states, District of Columbia and Canada. IRP is recommended for any Qualified Motor Vehicle that is operating outside their base state, otherwise Temporary Trip Permits are required. Out-of-state carriers MUST secure a Trip Permit PRIOR to entering any state other than their base state. The Trip Permit must remain with the vehicle at all times while active. 

 Regulations can vary from state to state. As a general rule any truck-trailer-load combination exceeding 80,000 lbs. gross weight is considered overweight. Overweight loads must be non-divisible. Divisible loads are loads that can be reduced in weight within an eight (8) hour period without damaging the load. 

 Regulations can vary from state to state. As a general rule any truck-trailer-load combination exceeding 8’6″ wide and/or 13’6″ high (14′ for most western states) or 65' in length will require an Oversize Permit. Length regulations vary per state. Oversize loads must be non-divisible. Divisible loads are loads that can be reduced in weight within an eight (8) hour period without damaging the load.

A load is considered oversized if it exceeds:

• 13’6” in most Eastern States
• 14’6” in Nebraska and Colorado
• 14’ in most Western States
• 15’ in Alaska
• 13’6” in most Canadian Provinces

Regulations can vary from state to state. Any load over routine dimensions for a state is considered a Superload. Loads must be non-divisible. Divisible loads are loads that can be reduced in size and weight within an eight (8) hour period without damaging the load.

Common Superloads include large power-plant transformers, industrial-scale HVAC equipment, large construction and mining equipment, power generators, wind turbines or other large pieces of equipment. If the load exceeds 200,000 lbs, exceeds '16 wide, exceeds '16 high.
