The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) covers 48 U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Essentially, when your vehicle is IFTA-registered, you record the distance traveled in each state or province and pay the appropriate fuel taxes.
FUEL PERMITS
Fueling Your Company’s Compliance
If your vehicle doesn’t have an IFTA decal and license for the states or Canadian provinces it’ll be traveling in, you’ll likely need a fuel permit for that vehicle.
You need a fuel permit if your vehicle is traveling out of state and any of these apply:
- Your vehicle is not registered under IFTA
- Your power unit has 3 or more axles
- Your power unit has 2 axles and a gross vehicle or registered weight over 26,000 lbs.
- Your tow vehicle and trailer have a combined gross vehicle or registered weight over 26,000 lbs.

Awesome Service
"In order to haul during mud season in Maine I need to travel out of state. It is usually only for a short time, and I do not want to register IRP. J.J. Keller Permits is simple, fast and flawless. If there is an issue once the application is submitted to the other state, a J.J. Keller associate will research what is going on and get it fixed! Time is definitely important to me and their help is perfect!"
