IRP is the International Registration Plan... ie, apportioned tags. Here's the michigan sos again, with the details of what IRP is. If you're planning on doing this in MT, you'll have to check their DMV/SOS site and make sure you don't have to travel to Helena to get yours. I know with Michigan, you have to go to Lansing, unless you have an online account set up with them. Good luck!

In simple terms, it is a account for states to collect tax on the miles you run through their states. If for example you buy fuel in Georgia and run all the way through to Arkansas, Tennessee for example will want their fuel tax money even though you didn't purchase fuel there.
It can be obtained at your states IRP office at the time you register your vehicle. Generally it has to be done in the state you reside.
They will set you up with a account for this. Alot of carriers will do the filing, make the quarterly payment, and computations for you, but you must set up the account.
If using your own authority, you have to do it yourself or hire a service for this.
Hope that helps

IRP is the international restration plan.This lets the state you live in pass to the states you register with and equal share of the tax on your liscense plates.also there is an ifta plan,this passes the over buy of fuel taxes you buy as your passing thru the states.
Some of these states have less tax than others,so while you might think your saveing money buying cheaper fuel,you might actually be paying more,as there wont be enough fuel tax money to pass to the other states,if you over buy in one of the cheaper states

IRP is for the registration of the truck, IFTA is for the fuel tax sharing. Two different things to sign up for. The truck owner may not need his own IFTA account if the company he is leased to takes care it. In my case, I'm registered in Michigan, but I have an Ohio IFTA sticker because the Ohio based company I'm leased to handles that.
O.K. , what's this all about ? http://www.landlinemag.com/Special_Reports/2007/Aug07/080207_single_state.htm
To All;
Trucking Permits 101.
Single State Registration Sytem (SSRS) - this is the program, temporarily abolished effective January 1, 2007, which is to be replaced by Uuniform Carrier Registration (UCR). The governement is having problems implementing UCR so there is presently talk of reverting back to SSRS. The states have lost many dollars due to loss of SSRS. Also, for all you experienced drivers, SSRS is the program that replaced "Bingo" or "ID" stamps which were displayed on a Form "D" Cab Card. The actual SSRS permit was an "RS-3" form.
In the old days, carriers were required to register their (ICC) Authority with each state they intended to operate in on a Form "A" (with a $25 fee) along with insurance Forms "E" and "H" and a listing of their Process Agents. The carrier also had to purchase and pay for "Bingo" stamps on a Form B. Technical BS that no longer matters.
International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) - this program was implemented to make uniform, each states requirements for fuel taxes. In the "old" days each state issued it's own fuel decals, and each state had requirements for what vehicles were required to purchase and display their fuel decals and pay fuel taxes. Some states even required carriers to post "Fuel Tax Bonds" (a type of Surety Bond). An example was Arkansas. AR had requirements that any vehicle over 10,001 lbs. GVW, regardless of fuel type (Diesel, Gas, LPG and so on...) purchase fuel decals and pay fuel taxes. Each state had their own fuel tax forms that were prepared on a quarterly basis. The concept of IFTA was to make each state collect fuel taxes on vehicles that have GVW of 26,001 lb. or more, or three axles or more, that travel Interstate (between states). IFTA eliminated the need for trucking companies to register with each state for fuel tax registration, purchase fuel decals and pay fuel taxes on an individual state basis. Since the implementation of IFTA, we now register to pay fuel taxes, obtain IFTA decals and pay fuel taxes (for all states) through our base state. One stop, one tax form, one decal.
International Registration Plan (IRP) - the only means to obtain license plates for a vehicle with GVW of 26,001 lb. or more, three axles or more, that travels Interstate (between the states). IRP came about as a means for each state to collect it's share of the license plate fees for commercial vehicles that travel it's highways - this of course in addition to the collection of fuel taxes! Each state has a fee for each "weight category" of vehicle. Fees for IRP plates are calculated by taking the percentage of miles travelled in each state multiplied by that state's fee for that weight class of vehicle. Fees for all the states travelled in are added together, then added to the base state's registration fee (for their services to process the application) for the grand total. To help you better understand how IRP works I offer the following example:
Owner Operator wants to license his 33,000 GVW Straight truck in the states of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. He will operate his vehicle with 50% of the miles being driven in Ohio, 25% of the miles being driven in Michigan and 25% of the miles to be driven in Indiana. The owner-operator is based in Ohio and is thus purchasing an Ohio IRP plate. (The fees listed are NOT actual - just used for example purposes).
Ohio 50% X 750.00 (Ohio full fee for a 33,000 GVW vehicle) = 375.00
IN 25% X 775.00 (Indiana full fee for 33,000 vehicle) = 193.75
MI 25% X 820.00 (Michigan full fee for 33,00 vehicle) = 205.00
add in Ohio's fee for registration (their services) = 55.50
______
Total $829.25
Again, the numbers used above are NOT accurate and were used for demonstration purposes only.
I hope this clarifies the permits issue.
