The following are the requirements for IRP Registration with Apportioned plates or IRP plates:

• Residency requirements
• Operational requirements
• Title requirements
• USDOT number requirements
• IFTA fuel tax requirements
• 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax
• Prior license plate information (& copy) requirements
• Limited Liability Companies and Corporations
• Farmers crossing state lines

Residency Requirements:   Truck owners are required to be residents of Indiana and Companies are required to be based in Indiana.

Operational Requirements: Truck owners fall into one or two of the following categories:

• Registrant - where the truck or trucks are leased to a trucking company with MC Authority
• For-Hire Carrier - where the truck owner or trucking company has it's own MC Authority
• Exempt For-Hire Carrier - where the truck owner or company hauls Exempt Commodities exclusevly
• Private Carrier - where the truck owner or company hauls commodities belonging to that owner or company without compensation

Title Requirements:   Indiana requires the vehicles owned by the applicant or company to be titled in Indiana. If the truck is a leased truck from a leasing company, the title will belong to the leasing company and can be from any state. A Power-of-Attorney from the leasing company to the individual or company leasing the truck or tractor is required as well as a copy of the lease agreement. If you are buyng a tractor and are For-Hire, you will need an Indiana sales-tax-exempt number to avoid paying the 7% sales tax. We can get a sales tax number and do the title transfer for you.  If you are a Private Carrier, including farmers with farm-plated trucks or semi-tractors, the sales tax will have to be paid on the vehicle when you transfer the title at the license branch.

USDOT Number Requirements: The truck owner or company crossing state lines with an IRP-plate on the truck or semi-tractor will be required to register for a USDOT number. The exception is a truck owner leasing to a trucking company as a Registrant, the trucking company being leased on to is the Carrier. Registrants are not required to have a USDOT number. Carriers crossing state lines with trucks that have IRP plates are required to have USDOT numbers.

Fuel Tax Requirements: Trucks crossing state lines are required to be issued IFTA fuel tax decals and an IFTA cab-card (the cab-card can be a photo-copy). If the trucks are leased to a trucking company, IFTA credentials can be issued by that company. However, some trucking companies require the Registrant being leased to them provide their own IFTA credentials, IFTA stickers and cab-card. Quarterly fuel tax reporting is required. Call us for information or to register for the IFTA fuel tax.

2290 Federal Highway Use Tax:  All commercial vehicles plated at 55,000-lbs or higher are required to submit 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax filings with the IRS. This includes farmers with vehicles traveling more than 7,500 miles within any tax year, or with vehicles traveling under 7,500 miles each tax year. Farm-plated trucks traveling 7,500 miles or less in any tax year qualify to be tax-exempt, but the 2290 form still has to be filed with the IRS. Commercial vehicles can have their 2290 filed with the tax-exempt status if traveling 5,000-miles or less within any tax year. The tax year runs from July 1 in one year to June 30 the following year. 2290 Federal Highway Use Tax filings have to be made with an EIN / Federal Identification Number. Call us to apply for an EIN / Federal Identification Number and to process and file your 2290 Federal Highway use Tax form.

Prior license plate registration with IRP plates, Apportioned plates or BMV license plate registration:   An applicant who previous had an IRP plate, Apportioned plate or BMV license plate on their truck needs to have a copy of the registration or cab-card when applying for IRP registration / Apportioned registration.  The state needs to know how the truck was previously registered and plated to determine if actual mileages are required or First Year Estimated Mileages can be used in the application process.

Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Partnership (LP) or Corporation:  If you are going to set up the IRP registration in an LLC, LP or Corporate name, this company name will first have to be registered with the Indiana Secretaty of State and a Federal Identifiation Number (EIN) applied for. If the LLC, LP or Corporation was established this year, we will have to set up a link between the company and the company 'owner'. If the company was established before this year, the state will need to verify state taxes were filed for the years the company has been in existence.

A farmer crossing state lines with a truck with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,001-lbs or more, or with a truck pulling a trailer or semi-tractor and trailer with Gross Combined Weight Ratings (GCWR) of 10,001-lbs or more is required to register for a USDOT number. Crossing state lines also requires registering for UCR - Unified Carrier Registration. If the truck, truck and trailer or tractor and trailer weigh 26,001-lbs or more, the truck or semi-tractor is required to be registered with a USDOT number, Unified Carrier Registration and IFTA fuel tax. The truck can still be plated with a farm plate as long as the farmer continues to transport only products belonging to the farm and being used exclusevly for farm operations. Hauling the remodeled 1929 John Deere tractor to a show does not constitute exclusive farm-use operations of the old tractor, and the farm plate on the truck or semi-tractor is no longer valid. You will need to have an IRP license plate, register for IFTA fuel tax and for UCR - Unified Carrier Registration to haul this old beauty across state lines. If you are caught in Illinois hauling this old tractor with your farm-plated truck or semi-tractor, you could be subject to a fine based on having no legitimate plate to travel in Illinois. This could result in a fine of a few thousand dollars. If the farmer hauls Exempt Commodities, such as grain, on a For-Hire basis across state lines, he will need IRP registration, IFTA registration and filing the UCR. If the items or commodities being hauled across state lines are not exempt, MC authority will also be required.  Call us if you need assistance for any of the above requirements.
