Hello. Just trying to understand what exactly this is. Not much info out there with respect to pricing and/or applicable states. Figured someone here would know.
1. Does the base plate that I get out of, let's say, GA work in all 48 states or does it only work in the "home" state? If it does only work in home state, how does one travel to a nearby state? Do you need "stickers" or anything like that for each state that you plan to travel in?
2. If the IRP is put in place to "provides payment of registration fees on the basis of total distance operated in all jurisdictions (states), how exactly does each state receive monies, or how are the number of miles traveled in each state, reported to said state"?
3. For the plate, is it a one time cost and annual renewal?
Thanks all. Greatly appreciated.

The IRP member states are paid via the IRP central office. When you pay for IRP, you do it all in one place- your base state, then they make sure the money is sent to the member states as required.
Your annual miles on the second and subsequent years are reported at your annual renewal. Again, you do this at the IRP office where you got the base plates. The second and following years can be much cheaper since you have an accurate tally of your miles for each state, and they often times are much less than what your first year estimates were.
Your base plate costs are done annually. Most states charge a small fee for the plate, and administrative overhead, too. So yes, annually, you renew IRP and pay for your mileage and any additional fees. They don't usually issue new plates every year, just a new cab card.Road Killer Thanks this. -

Thanks to both of you. One last question(s):
Let's say for the first year (the rest of 2013) I just want to run 11 SE states. I would give those states when I establish get the base plate and then those 11 are printed on the cab card?
And then someone really needs me to run to New Mexico but I only have up to Texas on my cab card...I would then have to stop at the NM point of entry and get a one time trip permit to get in?
Thanks again. -
It isn't calender year but annual renewal in March and in September (you pick which one) if I remember right.
It is easier to pick out all the states you are going to run in and may run in and pay for them than to stop at ports of entry and add them. The difference in costs are not that great. -
Each state determines their own estimated miles. Indiana uses all the reported miles from previous quarters divided by the number of vehicles registered to determine the estimated miles for each state.

The first year was more expensive because they gave me estimated miles for some jurisdictions which we ended up not running in at all, or substantially less actual miles than what was declared by the estimates, therefore we paid for miles / jurisdictions that went unused. The first year cost us the most. Our subsequent costs went down quite a bit when we had actual miles to report.cetanediesel Thanks this. -
Does it cost substantially more to get 48 states than to get 9 or 10? Or if you get 9 or 10, should you might as well just get the rest?

If you did the same thing in IL where the base plate [the MOST expensive one] is close to 2K, it would be more than NJ but you would still only pay a small amount to the other states and should be able to do 48 states in IL for around $2200.
Also be aware that alot of states do not have Ports of Entry; you need to get your IRP trip permit thru a service. You spend perhaps $15.00 for the state cost PLUS the permit service fee which can be $20.00 - $25.00 for a three day permit.
You can go to DMV and add the state to a new cab card for a couple bucks plus the state fee for a new cab card I remember paying $7.00 for the new card in NJ. Much cheaper than buying temps.
An IRP registration is a changing document. You loose states you don't travel in and add those you gained w/ trip permits by reporting those miles when you renew.
Multiple trucks can be combined in a fleet. The advantage is you can keep all the states on the fleet's cab cards as long as one of the fleet runs in each state. I had a daycab fleet [7 states] and a sleeper fleet [21 states] for the last set of company trucks I permitted Most of my daycabs stayed in the NJ-PA-NY area but at least one hit all the rest so ANY truck in the fleet could be used in case of a break down without needing permits.VisionLogistics Thanks this.
