Which states require a trip permit

Before obtaining a travel permit, it is important to know which states require this document:


  1. Arizona. The document is required if the truck has 2 or more axles. So the "26,000 overweight rule" doesn't apply in this state.

  2. California. Absolutely all trucks transporting even personal belongings must have the necessary documents.

  3. Nevada. In order to cross this state, a document must be obtained with a vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds or more.

  4. New Mexico. Appropriate documentation is required for vehicle weights of 12,000 pounds or more.


In all other US states, not only IRP and IFTA are required, but also additional documents. They may include, for example, vehicle mileage permits. Therefore, it is first necessary to study all the rules for crossing these states by heavy trucks.
