Do you need trip and fuel permits?

Your pickup truck with a loaded trailer weighs in at 18,000 pounds and needs to haul from Texas to California.

What would you do?

  1. Register the unit with apportioned plates.
  2. Get registration trip permits for the round trip.
  3. Get registration trip permits and fuel permits for the round trip.
  4. None of the above, the Texas base plates have us covered.

Do you need trip and fuel permits? Answer

A two-axle vehicle with a gross weight or registered weight under 26,001 pounds is not required to register (or obtain trip permits) under the International Registration Plan (IRP). However, for vehicles/combinations between 10,001 and 26,000 pounds, some jurisdictions require trip permits or apportioned plates:

  • To travel through the jurisdiction, or
  • When engaging in intrastate transportation.

Arizona, California, and New Mexico fall in this category.

Because of this, it sometimes makes sense to register the vehicles with apportioned plates under IRP even when they are less than 26,001 pounds. Two of the answers are correct choices for this scenario – 1 and 2:

  1. Correct: Register the unit with apportioned plates.
    Apportioned plates would provide the truck valid registration for all states of travel. This option would be the best choice if the trip occurs regularly, making trip permits impractical or expensive.
  2. Correct: Get trip permits for the round trip.
    If this is an infrequent trip, then registration trip permits are a good solution.
  3. Wrong: Get trip permits and fuel permits for the round trip.
    While this weight category of vehicles must be considered for registration/IRP purposes, a two-axle vehicle or combination at 26,000 pounds or less would never be subject to fuel taxes under IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement).
  4. Wrong: None of the above, the Texas base plates have us covered.
    This option could result in citations and operational delays in each state of travel.
