IRP Cab Card

Definition

An IRP cab card is the document that lists every IRP jurisdiction in which a power unit is registered along with the registered weight in each. The base jurisdiction issues a cab card for each apportioned vehicle when the IRP application is processed; the carrier must keep the original cab card in the cab and produce it during a roadside inspection. The cab card is the operational proof of apportioned registration in that the apportioned plate alone does not show which jurisdictions are active or at what weight. Cab cards are reissued each registration year and reflect all weight increases or jurisdiction additions filed mid-year through supplemental applications.
