What are you working on?
Start with a work situation to understand the requirements, common mistakes and next steps.
Registration & taxes
Identify the business activity and where vehicles operate, then check the relevant federal and state records. One number or permit does not represent every filing.
California CA numbers and MCP permits
An MCP is California’s carrier operating permit; registration plates or a federal number cannot replace it. Determine applicability, then check permit, insurance and renewal status.
IRP registration and distance records
IRP distance reporting must trace back to each vehicle’s actual trips, including empty, intrastate and repositioning movements. A California-to-neighboring-state trip illustrates what the driver keeps and how the office summarizes it.
IFTA, fuel permits and tax records
Where fuel is purchased and where the vehicle uses it are separate records to preserve. A quarter without interstate trips illustrates why an existing IFTA account still needs filing and record checks.
