Setting up a new Authority: waiting on IFTA account

Ok, you need to get your own tags. That should be first on your list.

 

Mine took forever in Texas as well. Months… perhaps things have sped up since everyone seems to be doing normal crap nowadays. Mine was in the heart of COVID also.

 

I feel for you all.

Of all the crazy stuff NJ makes one do, IRP and IFTA are two special windows next to each other, with the right items one can get their IRP plate and get in the next line and get your temp IFTA and walk out the door...

 

Missouri is great if you live close to Jeff City. Can do it all in the same window and done in 30 minutes.

 

Call Trux,Inc out of N Little Rock, AR,
They set up irp and ifta and do trucking paperwork

 

You can get your own IRP and IFTA and switch the Motor Carrier Responsible For Safety over to your authority once it's active.

Before you're active you'll have to use whoever's authority to set up the account. Make sure you have a copy of your lease and all their information like MC, DOT, phone number etc etc.

Call your state IRP and IFTA office. They all have manuals and instructions on how to do this. Don't let some parasitic organizations take your hard earned money. If you can read, you can do it.

 

that crazy how it differs from state to state... arizona.. they make you mail everything in

 

That's exactly right. I did the same thing when I was leased on before I got my own numbers. You get both the IRP and IFTA under the carrier's authority/mc but the rest is yours. Then, replace the carrier you're leased to with your information once you become the carrier (your own active authority/mc). Call your home state's IRP and IFTA offices they'll guide you through it. It's their job.
