IRP Training Video

Here is a training video produced recently by IRP, Inc., the repository of the International Registration Plan. It’s intended as an introduction to the Plan, and especially to IRP’s record-keeping requirements, for motor carriers, state personnel, and anyone else with an interest in commercial vehicle registration. Note that the video gives only a broad view of the Plan. For more detail, or for the rules of a specific Plan member, you may need to get in touch with the state or province. For versions of the video in Spanish and French, visit the IRP website.
