Introduction
For trucking firms doing business state to state and province to province, compliance is not only about safety but about registration as well. That’s where the International Registration Plan (IRP) enters the picture. Handling IRP transactions can be slow and cumbersome, particularly for carriers with multiple jurisdictions. At Expert Trucking Solutions (ETS), we make IRP headaches go away by taking care of your transactions quickly and correctly, keeping your fleet on the road and in compliance without the bother of delays.
What Is an IRP Transaction & Our Services
The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a multi-state Canadian agreement. It allows carriers to register commercial vehicles in a base jurisdiction and lawfully operate in all jurisdictions participating in the plan. Rather than holding individual registrations for each province or state, carriers pay prorated fees dependent upon their travel.
At ETS, we make this process easier by providing:
- New IRP account registration for fleets commencing interstate or interprovincial operations.
- Renewals & modifications such as adding vehicles, transferring plates, or changing mileage.
- Error-free mileage reports to assure accurate record-keeping.
- Consultation & assistance so that you are aware of fee structures, deadlines, and compliance regulations.
- Submissions on time to avoid unnecessary downtime resulting from expired registrations.
