Vehicle registration trip permits ≤ 26,000 lbs state comparison

RegSenseTemporary trip permitsBest ResultsFocus AreaState Comparison TableFleet OperationsEnglishTransportationRegistration and Permits - Motor CarrierUSA

While a two-axle vehicle with a gross weight or registered weight that is equal to or under 26,000 pounds is exempt from the International Registration Plan (IRP) (but may be registered under IRP at the registrant’s option), several states require trip permits or IRP plates for these vehicles.

Reminder: If a vehicle has three or more axles regardless of its weight, counting axles on the power unit or truck only, then it is subject to both the IRP and the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA).

Interstate refers to operation through the state while intrastate refers to point-to-point operations, or work “within” the state.
