What Is the IRP Average Per Vehicle Distance Chart?
The Average Per Vehicle Distance chart, often shortened to APVD, is how a jurisdiction calculates your IRP fees when your fleet has no travel history. Each IRP jurisdiction publishes its own chart showing the average distance vehicles based there travelled into every other member jurisdiction. It applies when a fleet is new, or when it accrued no actual distance during the distance reporting period. If your fleet accrued any actual distance at all, you must use the actual figures instead, and you cannot mix the two.

California splits motor carrier credentials across two agencies. The California DMV runs IRP apportioned registration, and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, CDTFA, runs fuel tax. California also offers three different fuel tax paths rather than one: IFTA, the Interstate User Diesel Fuel Tax for carriers whose interstate travel is limited to Mexico and California, and the California Fuel Trip Permit. Most California based commercial vehicles at 26,001 pounds or more need IRP registration or trip permits.
