Permitting
Permitting for vehicles can be tracked within Encompass® via Vehicle Management > Permitting.
Find the vehicle using the search box on the left, one of the common views in the middle, or the map to filter vehicles by state.
Click on the Unit Number.
The Permitting Files screen will then be displayed. The first section can be expanded to view the unit information. The second section shows the Permitting Renewable Checklist.
The Permitting Renewable Checklist is automatically generated based on the information added about the unit in the unit's tab. If this list is blank, or there are items that should be there but aren't, be sure that the rule setting Is required to meet DOT qualifications? is turned on in Setup > Company Level Listing > Edit Rules. Additionally, make sure that the settings for IRP and the states that the unit travels in are selected as they effect what is shown here.
When editing the permitting renewable checklist, there are two ways to complete this:
- Edit the entire list at once, which will not allow for notes to be entered.
- Edit an item individually, which will allow for notes ot be entered.

Creating IRP Requirements
The International Registration Plan is an agreement that provides for the apportioned registration of commercial motor vehicles, allowing a qualifying vehicle to travel through several states and provinces with one license plate. IRP apportioned registration is required when a commercial vehicle operates in two or more jurisdiction and is designed or used ot transport property, or passengers for-hire, and:
- Is a power unit having two axles and gross vehicle weight in excess of 26,000 pounds, or;
- Is a power unit have three or more axles, regardless of weight, or;
- Is used in combination, when the combined gross vehicle weight exceeds 26,000 pounds.
All states, except Alaska and Hawaii, plus the 10 Canadian provinces are members of the IRP. IRP apportioned registration applies to the power unit only. Trailers are issued state registration plates form the jurisdiction of registration.
