For business accounts, you will be required to provide a Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) for each vehicle assigned to your account.
A Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) is a universal identifier used between tolling agencies, to identify the weight and size classes of a specific vechile, along with the number of axles and tires. Business applications include a reference chart of applicable codes. A VRC is not required for personal accounts.
Business operators: It is important to use the largest common configuration of your vehicle when choosing a VRC. For instance, if you operate a five-axle tractor-trailer, but you sometimes only drive the cab, make certain to list the VRC for a five-axle vehicle, not a three-axle vehicle.
Use of logos or marks is for reference only. Neither affiliation nor endorsement is implied and should not be so construed.
