IFTA (International Fuel Tax Association)
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement among 48 States of the US and 10 Canadian provinces to simplify reporting fuel used by interstate/interjurisdictional motor carriers.
IFTA requires that trucking companies pay taxes to individual states for the wear and tear on their roads. Each state has its own rates and the fuel tax is based on the number of miles a truck is driven on state roads. Companies that do not have an automated solution rely on drivers to keep manual logs as they travel within or from state to state. IFTA requires quarterly filing and payment of taxes which can be a logistical nightmare for calculating, recording and reporting for an entire fleet for each state.

IRP
IRP is a method of registering fleets of vehicles that travel in two or more member jurisdictions. All states (except Alaska and Hawaii), Washington D.C., and all Canadian provinces (except Northwestern Territories, Nunavut and Yukon) are members of the plan.

Motor carriers that qualify for IRP must register fleets of vehicles in their home or “base” jurisdiction. A fleet, for IRP purposes, is comprised of one or more vehicles that pay registration fees in multiple states. The base jurisdiction collects the appropriate registration fees and distributes them to the other jurisdictions in which the carrier requested IRP registration. IRP registration fees are determined by the type of operation requested (private, for-hire, or rental) and by the:

• Percentage of miles traveled in each member jurisdiction 
• Registered gross weight of each vehicle 
• Number of vehicles in the carrier’s fleet

IRP distributes the registration revenue among the member jurisdictions. Each member jurisdiction receives its proportional share of registration fees for each vehicle registered under the IRP fleet. 

Carriers are issued one registration cab card and one license plate for each vehicle in their fleet. Vehicles registered under IRP are considered registered, for vehicle registration purposes only, and does not exempt carriers from any jurisdiction's requirements including: 

• Operating authority requirements 
• Vehicle size and weight requirements 
• Motor fuel or road tax licensing and reporting 
• Insurance filing requirements
