If you are new to trucking, you will often hear the term IRP; short for International Registration Plan.  This registration is a formality plan between the states of the U.S., the District of Columbia and Canadian provinces.  This plan allows the motor carrier to travel in the jurisdiction using only one type of motor carrier registration and plate; because it wouldn't be practical to require the motor carrier to use a different plate for each jurisdiction that they wanted to travel through.  Under IRP, each jurisdiction have an established "apportioned" charge or fee that goes to them, for allowing the motor carrier to travel in their locality.  For example, if Virginia is your base state (meaning your business is established in Virginia, your fleet and the mileage associated with it is reported and established under Virginia as well).  In this case, the base state would retain their "apportioned fee", and will also distribute the required fees to the jurisdictions that the motor carrier has traveled through as well.
