IFTA is the International Fuel Tax Agreement. It allows interstate carriers to report and pay fuel use tax through a single base jurisdiction, which then distributes tax to the states and provinces where you ran.

Grace period
Renewal decals have a grace period from January 1 through the last day of February. Keep a valid license copy in the cab and display current or prior-year decals during the grace period, as allowed.
IRP apportions registration fees across jurisdictions. It does not include fuel taxes. If you have apportioned plates and you cross state lines in a qualified vehicle, you still need IFTA or fuel trip permits.
