And then, in the 1970s, the International Registration Plan was enacted. Essentially, truckers bought an "apportioned" license plate that covered all jurisdictions in the US and Canada. A trucker pays for the plate and then twice a year, submits a report of what states or jurisdictions the truck drove through. The mileage is calculated and a bill is created to make sure that every state gets a fair share of the collected taxes.
