New owner operator - how to make the compliance documents?

2290 is paid at the beginning of the fiscal year, not at the end of the year.

 

I highly recommend OOIDA. They can help with the authority filling. If you are a member they will file BOC-3 for free. They also have drug consortium program called CMCI. It is not the cheapest but I feel confident using them.
What state are you looking to get your apportioned plate?

 

2290 will be prorated your first year, but it needs filed before you can hit the road regardless of when that is.

With drug consortium, you'll need a third-party C/TPA if you're by yourself. You aren't allowed to administer your own program to...yourself. In other words, you can't schedule your own piss tests. You have to have a third party do it for you. Your consortium will know what to do.

You can't start IFTA application until IRP is done. Get on those, because with Corona, they take forever. (five months in Texas when everything was shut down, not sure about now)

 

Sorry, but it's so much easier driving a company truck today, and look at new fishing boats. Hope it works out for you, don't forget the Road Use Tax in June. That one ALWAYS pixxed me off . Quarterly taxes too, with all the costs, did they actually expect me to pay estimated taxes every 3 months, so a good accountant is more important than ever,,more cash out. When it's all said and done, there is little incentive to be an O/O today. I think you'll find that out, hopefully before you go too far in the hole. I'd have at LEAST $10g's as emergency backup funds too because at $150/hour, repairs take a big chunk, and if the wheels aren't turning, no money coming in. Insurance, both health and liability kills most O/O's these days, something bigger companies can absorb. Being an O/O myself and went back to a company driver, I can't believe someone today still thinks their own is the way to go. I suppose it's sign of good ol' American pride, but you know what THAT'S worth today. Let the boss have the headaches, you go take Junior fishin',,,

 

When did that start?
Although I have a lot more than that, they’ve never asked for 4 years verifiable experience

 

DC permitting in Dickson,TN and insurance should be Mustardseed. Google them. Both are the best at what they do.

 

I could not get insurance through OOIDA either. I went with Great West for about $10k year (old truck, running power only).

IRP and IFTA took the longest. The state would not do it till after the authority went active. Everything had to be submitted online though website for my state TN.

3 months into my authority I just got a letter of New Entrant Audit from FMCSA. They want paperwork for Consortium. Thanks to OOIDA I have everything that I need to show compliance.

Also, I dont know if it applies to your truck but e-log maybe required for your operation.
