Unfortunately, getting started as a carrier does not come easy. Why is this so? Perhaps, this is because it involves a lot of planning and preparation. From creating a business plan to fulfilling all the legal requirements and everything in between. But don\u2019t worry! At TruckingOffice, we are committed to ensuring that you have a hassle-free experience with every endeavor, including IFTA and IRP.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The International Registration Plan (IRP) refers to a reciprocity agreement between the U.S. and several Canada provinces, of which Alberta is a member. It maximizes the use of highways and provides trucking entrepreneurs a one-stop process to pay for usage of roadways based on the total distance traveled in the member jurisdictions. The best bit about this plan is, you only need one IRP license plate and one cab card for each apportioned vehicle, even when you operate intra-jurisdictionally.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For you to use Alberta as your base jurisdiction, you\u2019ll need to fulfill a minimum of three of the following;<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is your motor vehicle designed, used, or maintained for the transportation of property or persons for hire? If yes, then consider it qualified. That\u2019s all? Of course not. It must also be used or intended for use in Alberta and at least one more member jurisdiction. More importantly, the motor vehicle must meet at least one of the following weight and size requirements:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Government-owned vehicles, recreational vehicles, or those displaying restricted plates are not required to have IRP license plates. Nevertheless, you (the registrant) may opt to register them under the plan if you deem it necessary.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you and your vehicle qualify to use Alberta as your base, you are required to submit the applicable fees for apportionment in all jurisdictions together and at one time. The charges are determined by:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The good thing is, paying Alberta IRP fees is pretty straightforward. Usually, you are provided with a Fee Notice as soon as your application is processed. The Fee Notice shows a breakdown of the respective charges for each apportioned vehicle in your fleet. Once you submit the specified amounts (plus their service fees, of course), you are issued with a registration, validation tab, cab card, and plate if necessary. Fees at the subsequent IRP renewal are calculated based on the percentage of distance traveled within each member jurisdiction. Renewal fees could be anywhere between $500 to $3,000 per truck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Need Help with IRP and IFTA?
