IFTA is an agreement among states in the United States and provinces in Canada that simplifies the fuel use tax reporting for motor carriers that travel both inside and outside California. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) is responsible for administering the IFTA program for motor carriers based in California.
People who operate diesel-powered qualified motor vehicles and whose interstate travel is restricted to Mexico and California, or people who travel in California whose business is not based in an IFTA jurisdiction, are required to obtain an Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax License.
Under the Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax program, every person using diesel fuel to operate a qualified motor vehicle within and outside California must pay a tax for every diesel fuel gallon used in California. See the Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax page for more information.
Commercial Driver’s License (CDL): This is essential for anyone who operates commercial motor vehicles. Depending on what they're hauling or the type of vehicle, endorsements on the CDL may be required.
Registration and Vehicle Documents: These include the vehicle registration, lease agreements if the truck is not owned by the driver, and any other relevant documents related to the vehicle.
MC Number and DOT Number: Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Motor Carrier (MC) Number and Department of Transportation (DOT) Number are required for operating as an interstate carrier.
Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP): Required for carriers that haul certain types and quantities of hazardous materials, this permit is issued by the FMCSA.
Oversize/Overweight Permits: Specific permits are required for vehicles that exceed standard size or weight limits. These permits are usually issued by the state or local jurisdictions through which the vehicle will be traveling.
Customs Transponder/Decal (for international transport): For operations crossing international borders, such as into Canada or Mexico, trucks need a customs transponder or decal for expedited border crossings.
State-Specific Permits: Some states require additional permits for commercial vehicles. These can include fuel permits, trip permits (for vehicles not registered in the state they are traveling through), and tax permits.
Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC): Required for carriers operating internationally, the SCAC is used to identify transportation companies and is necessary for customs and tariff tracking.
Hazardous Waste Transport License: If a company transports hazardous waste, additional licensing may be required at both the federal and state level.
