Single-trip authority, IFTA fuel tax, and IRP registration — Titanways keeps your fleet compliant and moving across every jurisdiction.
Single-trip authority, IFTA fuel tax, and IRP registration — Titanways keeps your fleet compliant and moving across every jurisdiction.
A trip permit allows a carrier without permanent registration in a jurisdiction to legally operate there for a short, defined period — the fastest way to cover an occasional or one-off move outside your normal operating territory.
Carriers without permanent IRP (International Registration Plan) registration in a province can purchase a single-trip permit to operate legally for a short period, typically 3–10 days.
Trip permits allow carriers to operate temporarily in a state without full IRP/IFTA registration — ideal for one-off moves through states outside your normal operating area.
For carriers making occasional cross-border runs, we coordinate matching trip permits on both sides so a single shipment is fully covered from origin to destination.
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) license allows qualified carriers to report and pay fuel taxes across all member jurisdictions through a single quarterly return, rather than filing separately in every province or state traveled.
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) simplifies fuel tax reporting for carriers operating across multiple provinces and U.S. states, consolidating reporting into one quarterly return filed with your base jurisdiction.
IFTA applies identically across U.S. states — carriers file one quarterly return with their base state, which redistributes tax owed to each state traveled through based on miles driven and fuel purchased.
Since IFTA covers both Canada and the U.S. under one agreement, cross-border carriers file a single combined return — we ensure mileage and fuel records are properly allocated across both countries.
The International Registration Plan (IRP) allows carriers to register a vehicle once in their base jurisdiction and operate legally across all member provinces and states, with registration fees apportioned based on distance traveled in each.
Rather than registering separately in every jurisdiction you operate in, IRP calculates one apportioned fee based on the percentage of total fleet miles driven in each member jurisdiction during the prior year (or estimated mileage for new operations).
A temporary fuel permit provides short-term fuel tax coverage for carriers entering a jurisdiction without IFTA registration — commonly used alongside a trip permit for one-off moves.
A trip permit covers your vehicle registration authority for the jurisdiction; a temporary fuel permit separately covers fuel tax obligations. Many carriers need both for a single out-of-territory move — Titanways files them together as one package.
