IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) and IRP (International Registration Plan) are cooperative agreements between the lower 48 states and Canada that simplify how motor carriers report fuel taxes and pay registration fees based on their total distance traveled across different jurisdictions.
Instead of filing separate reports for every state or province, these programs allow you to manage your credentials through a single "base" jurisdiction. At BIGRIG ALLIANCE, we eliminate the administrative burden by handling your complete IFTA and IRP registration and ensuring your quarterly compliance filings are accurate and on time.
The IFTA simplifies the reporting and payment of fuel taxes by interstate motor carriers. Under IFTA, carriers obtain a single fuel tax license from their base jurisdiction, which allows them to report and pay fuel taxes for all participating jurisdictions through one quarterly tax return.
The IRP is a cooperative agreement among U.S. states and Canadian provinces that facilitates the registration of commercial vehicles traveling in multiple jurisdictions. It allows carriers to register their vehicles in a single base jurisdiction and pay apportioned registration fees based on the distance traveled in each member jurisdiction.
-
The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) is a mandatory annual IRS tax for vehicles with a gross weight of 55,000 lbs or more. This weight includes the truck, trailer, and the maximum load carried.
BIGRIG ALLIANCE simplifies the filing process for you. We manage the complex deadlines and calculations, and we’ll even determine if your operations qualify for an HVUT exemption.
-
Trucking insurance costs are driven by FMCSA standards, your business type, and driver history. BIGRIG ALLIANCE understands these variables and helps you optimize your operations to keep insurance expenses as low as possible.
