well, i learned something. I was under the impression all states required intrastate authority to haul intrastate loads. It turns out the states that DO require intrastate authority are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. (I'll have to remember that next time I get asked to haul a load in Hawaii)

I'm talking about the property tax assesment that they tax you on, (your equipment), this is over and above the fuel tax that you pay, at home I have elected officials that represent me, in Kansas, (and the rest of the states) I do not have an elected official that represents me. I thought that when we finally got the IRP and IftA up and running, back in the eighties, that we would be finished with this state by state nonsense, back then you couldn,t get through the week without getting a statement from a jurisdiction somewhere, now here we go again.

You missed a few. It's easier to list the states that don't require intrastate authority (although UCR is a must): AZ, CO, CT, FL. Usually your home state will include that with your interstate authority. At least they do in GA

Some states offer it with no fee. Beware the hidden fees - they will then require you to register as a foreign corp and keep an insurance filing up to date that your insurance co may or may not charge for. There's probably more than just KS that tack on extras.

Here's another little gem that you folks on a lease or still company drivers need to pay attention to. I'm about to pay $160 for a lesson on how to add a vehicle to my KYU account (web form that takes 15 seconds to complete and doesn't even require a login). The interesting part is that the citation is issued to the driver, despite that issue being entirely a carrier responsibility. I will be supplying my driver with a scan of the check before and after it gets cashed by the court. To help get my driver's attention, the KY DOT shared a story of a not-so-fortunate driver that learned his previous carrier did not settle the matter on his behalf as expected. He got arrested on the spot due to a FTA bench warrant and had a big mess on his hands, along with his new carrier that had nothing to do with the issue.
