    In Minnesota mine are around 2,100 a year. If I'm not mistaken it's based off of how much you run in certain states.

    Should be between 1500 and 2000k. If you need a specific number you should contact them directly for the most accurate answers. First year or two it's the highest because they estimate your state mileage. After you've ran them through a base reporting period you'll have actual state mileage to report and the price will drop.

    I paid $1850 in Iowa. It is all based off the previous year. If you don't have that, they will use a basic charge they have created.

    Question what are base plates is that the same as IRP? I just want to know because I run county plates so its based on weight only. I want to get state plates so I can derate my GVWR and the county wont do it. Also it be easier to do work in MN and WI, I can only go so far on county plates.
    I thought Iowa IRP plates was weight as well?

    Massachusetts doesn't prorate there IRP plates and a new account with no actual miles you will be paying all estimated miles.I believe it should be around $1500 or better. Oh and even better news those plates need to be renewed July 1

    When we set up our apportioned plates, we were told we would pay the max since we had no history (It was around $3,500 for 3 trucks in Ohio) but that we would be issued a refund at the end of the year based on actual travel after we reported to IRP.
