IFTA and IRP

You will need to lease the vehicle to your motor carrier.

 

I'm also based in CT
To get your apportion plates you should stop at Wethersfield DMV or just call them and they will mail you application for IRP account and for registration. If you will lease your truck to your corporation, DMV also require non-trucking liability insurance. For first time application it's can take round a week to get your plates.

 

J. J. Keller specializes in Motor Carrier Compliance among other things. You would be wise to contact them with any questions. Not saying you wont get correct info here. However they can answer all correctly for your particular needs.

 

I'm not sure if you can apply before you get your insurance but to save some time call them and ask to mail you applications. They mail it for free. You should receive a big envelope with lots of instructions of their requirements. Information below from ct dmv website

Maybe you will be able to open IFTA account but I don't think that they will give you apportioned plates for your truck because when I registered first truck they required to bring certificate of insurance with active policy and IRP department listed as certificate holder and additional insured. Maybe something changed since that time. At that time it took 5 days to get plates after I dropped my paperwork at their office.

 

This IRP stuff is a headache. I'll be happy when all my initial filings for everything is done. I'm in Ohio and now I'm curious about whether or not I will be able to get my plates in 1 day or 20 lol. I bought my truck outright and have insurance, DOT#, PUCO#. I have started the MC# process. My title should be here any day and I figured I'd go to the BMV when it comes. Anyone From Ohio go through the process and care to enlighten me?
