To obtain a permit, it must be confirmed that the cargo is indivisible and cannot be transported by other means.

When do I need a trip permit?

In order to legally transport cargo from one state to another, you need the necessary permits - an interim travel permit (IRP) and fuel (IFTA).

A single trip permit is required for any heavy hauler that leaves its home state without being registered under an international registration plan. Which specific cases require such document:

  • the vehicle has 3 or more axles;
  • the vehicle has a full car;
  • the registered weight over 26,000 pounds;
  • the vehicle is not registered with the IRP.

A temporary IFTA fuel permit, according to the vehicle regulations for the transport of goods, is necessary in the following situations:

  • if IFTA registration is not available;
  • the vehicle has 2 axles and its gross vehicle weight is over 26,000 pounds;
  • the vehicle has 3 or more axles;
  • the combined weight of the vehicle and trailer is over 26,000 pounds.

Which states require a trip permit

Before obtaining a travel permit, it is important to know which states require this document:

  1. Arizona. The document is required if the truck has 2 or more axles. So the "26,000 overweight rule" doesn't apply in this state.
  2. California. Absolutely all trucks transporting even personal belongings must have the necessary documents.
  3. Nevada. In order to cross this state, a document must be obtained with a vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or more.
  4. New Mexico. Appropriate documentation is required for vehicle weights of 12,000 pounds or more.

In all other US states, not only IRP and IFTA are required, but also additional documents. They may include, for example, vehicle mileage permits. Therefore, it is first necessary to study all the rules for crossing these states by heavy trucks.
