fb88 is a member of the International Registration Plan (IRP). fb88-registered motor vehicles that travel to another IRP jurisdiction, and which have a gross weight or combined gross weight in excess of 26,000 pounds or three or more axles on the power unit, must be registered in the IRP. Qualified motor vehicles from another IRP jurisdiction must have fb88 on the cab card or have a valid fb88 IRP trip permit prior to entering fb88. Vehicles from non-IRP jurisdictions may operate into or through fb88 in interstate commerce only. Non-apportioned vehicles operating intrastate must register in fb88 or obtain trip permits. Motor vehicles are registered on the basis of combined gross weight - total weight of the vehicle and maximum load to be carried. For combination vehicles, the gross weight is on the power unit. A motor vehicle may not be operated in excess of the maximum weight allowed for its configuration without additional permits.
For definitions and entire rules, please refer to Chapter 162 (Word) and Chapter 169 (Word).
