    I am only apportioned for FL, GA, SC, NC, AL, MS and LA.
    A relative wants me to move all his and his son's stuff up to Mass.
    Is there a way to get his stuff moved up there with a temporary apportion permit for the states I am not apportioned for?
    What is the process you have to go through to get permission to go into a state you are not apportioned for? Just in case I get an occasional load to another state I'm not apportioned for.

    You can buy a 10-day permit for each state you are traveling into. Still need to report these miles on IFTA.

    Any reason you didn't plate in all states? It is usually cheaper and it looks like you don't have the time that they would not let you get plates based on estimate.

    You could also get a temporary letter adding those states. Would be cheaper than trip permitting.

    There's two options:

    Go to the front of your Rand Mc atlas. All the individual state contact info is listed. Figure your route and which states you will need permits for.

    Or, for an extra fee, you can use a permit service, like Permits Plus.

    https://www.permitsplus.com/temps.php

    Just give 'em your route and they'll do the legwork.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Guys that helps a lot. Much appreciated.
    BBBill, I only run the southeast states. I don't have a need to apportion for the other states I never run in.
    This is just a out of the norm thing for me to help out family.

    I'm not going to pretend like I know this for sure, but if you're getting compensated for this, you might fall under household goods authority. In other words, your contract/common carrier authority may not be enough to legally haul their stuff. Here's a page that has what each state charges for trip permits broken down-permit requirements.


    That's not how IFTA works, it's not an additional tax or fee, it doesn't cost any more to file in 48 states than it does in two.
