IRP, IFTA problems

@Midwest Trucker may have some suggestions.

 

Last time I saw someone running on a temp tag was at a Florida scale. They wanted $4500 to let him go.
Dealer tags don’t have weight on them.

 

Man, I’m not 100% sure. I’d probably haul freight if it was me. Maybe stay within a couple hundred miles of the house. I’ll ask my wife though, she sorts through all those issues for my company.

 

No you can’t haul freight with a dealer (paper temp )plate.......

 

The right state will shut you down until you produce a prorated tag. I don’t think your customer would be happy if you have a several week delay.

 

Why can't you? I ran for two weeks waiting for my plates to come in for my new truck bought from a dealer. I actually got a level 3 on the first run. No issues at all. My insurance was in place on the truck .
Sure, you might not have your apportioned plates and IFTA set up yet, but you can pay for trip and fuel permits for any other states you go to.

 

The way I read this is you have to have a existing irp account . New entrants don’t qualify.....



But I could be wrong......:-/

 

A rip temp is different than dealer tag
I see trucks everyday that have a temp irp taped in their windshield

 

Alaska doesn't participate in IRP or IFTA, so for every trip to the lower 48 I have to buy trip passes and fuel permits from the states/provinces I travel through. There is no requirement to have IRP or IFTA on a truck if you pay for the passes in the states you run in. Sure, some states have limits on how many times you can can get passes, but it's doable in the short term.
