TEMPORARY PERMIT OVERVIEW

Temporary fuel & trip permits are available to facilitate transportation through a state for which a carrier does not have the proper fuel or registration credentials. Since these permits are issued for short durations and are quite costly they should only be used when obligations mandate.

Temporary Fuel Permits are issued to cover a carriers operation for which they do not have current IFTA credentials or a fuel permit for the intended state of travel.

Trip Permits are issued to act as a temporary vehicle registration when traveling into a state for which they are not apportioned or registered. This applies to both IRP apportioned carriers and carriers that are not apportioned due to having mainly intrastate operations.

Combo Permits are offered by several states and combine both fuel and trip permits at a reduced fee. If you need both and a specific state offers a "combo", ordering this is less expensive than ordering both separately. Other states only offer a combo and in this case it's and/or a fuel and trip permit.

In general, if your vehicle meets or exceeds any of the below listed criteria, you must secure a temporary fuel or trip permit when not permitted or apportioned in the state for which you intend to operate. If you are in doubt please call us @ 1-800-722-8059 before ordering to determine if you must secure any temporary permits to comply.
