[av_toggle title=’What is the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA)? ‘ tags=”]
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is a cooperative program to collect and distribute fuel tax revenue between member states and Canadian provinces.  The program benefits carriers by consolidating licensing and reporting requirements through the base (home) state.

[av_toggle title=’When do I have to obtain an oversize load permit? ‘ tags=” av_uid=’av-2b9csk’]
Every state has different oversize load permits requirements. In each state, an oversize load permit is needed when a load exceeds a specific legal weight or dimension – height, width or length. WCS Permits understands what is considered overweight vs. legal weight, and what dimensions exceed each state’s standard requirements making an oversize load permit necessary for travel.
