Welcome to Illinois IRP Registration Services!
Welcome to Illinois IRP Registration Services!
Do you own and operate a commercial trucking business out of the Prairie State? Do you plan to expand your business and operate in other states, with expectations to frequently cross state lines? If you said yes to both of those questions, then you need to get enrolled in the IRP, also known as the International Registration Plan! This will save you time and money as you will not have to file for an individual trip permit each time you leave Illinois! As long as you have an IRP account, you are able to go into Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, or most other states with no problem!
So, what exactly is the IRP?
The IRP, or International Registration Plan, is an agreement made between the 48 contiguous states in the United States, Washington D.C., and the 10 provinces in Canada. The agreement stands to show that any licensing fee paid by a truck driver will be distributed evenly to all participants, not just the individual state the trucker is based in. This agreement simplified the process of interstate trucking, as it allows truckers to have one permit that works across the board for all of these sectors, rather than have to obtain separate permits for each state.
How do I know if I need the IRP?
If you only operate your commercial vehicle in Illinois, no matter what you do not need the IRP. However, if you operate outside of Illinois in at least one other state and your truck meets the following requirements, then you will need the IRP:
· Your vehicle has two axles and weighs more than 26,000 lbs., or
· Your vehicle has three axles or more, no matter the weight., or
· Your vehicle plus trailer and load combo weighs more than 26,000 lbs., you are required to register for the IRP. Sound like you need the IRP? Call us today at (888) 202-4927 for our filing assistance!
