The American Trucking Associations State Laws Newsletter is reporting that effective January 21, 2011, a permitting reciprocity agreement between North Carolina and Virginia will be cancelled.
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles will cancel a reciprocity agreement it has had with Virginia since 1976 that allows motor carriers to make infrequent trips across the state line without getting a trip permit or registering under the International Registration Plan.

Free movements under the agreement have been limited to ten miles beyond the state line, and up to four trips a month. Trip permits or an IRP plate will be needed in the future. The Virginia Trucking Association reports that it believes the agreement was not much used by its members. For more information, contact the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles at 804-249-5130 or the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles at 919-861-3720.
