What's the best State to base my trucking business?!

You could in the past but it got so obivious that many states cracked down on it.AR. had a major crackdown and charge a lot of companies with back taxes they claimed was owed to them.

You said in a earlier post that your options were open in that case it would make more sense for you to move to OK.for all the business advantages.

 

Illinois is NOT business or trucker friendly. I'd consider Indiana, there's a saying around here, "We lose more jobs to Indiana than India."

 

And?????......So what!!!!
That made up for all bull sheyat that Cali pulls on O/O's......

Cali is the only state to best of my knowledge that will try to tax you twice if you are a Cali based interstate carrier.....You buy a new rig out of Cali you obliviously pay the FET......When you go to the DMV to get your IRP plates (Which as you know the registration is split between the states..) They try to get a "Sales Tax-Title Fee-Registration Fee" out of you as well.....You have to remind them that it is for the IRP base plate and not an intrastate plate.....Otherwise you'll be out $15k........

 

Don't ask me I retired last month.So I'm not up on a lot of this stuff we have a lot of expurts in here that will get with you about it.

 

I heard RI has the best bankruptcy laws.

 

We work with alot of truckers to get rebates and such right now EPA regions 1,6 and 10 have very good programs available. Not sure about their tax rates however.

 

might exsplain why i see alot of permenit tags on trailers out of main

 

They had to give Ill 35 million.
