Well I guess I'm in for a little more sittin'.....

Mine was $1840 with change, but im licensed for 161,000 lbs in MI just incase id like to pull my trains again, only 12 states too. If i went 48 it would be cheaper but then id pay for it next year when i renewed and didnt run through those other states and pay my IFTA do's for them..... I did that 3 years ago and when renewing they came up with $2400, good thing i was able to delete all the states i will never see and bring it back down to a "sane" amount.......... Yeah MI is weird.

 

hey can i borrow your trains? I've always wanted to pull a set of those...LOL

 

Les2 ill do ya one better, ill sell em to ya

MilKMan $800 is just for your home state, MI charged me $608 just for their crap and processing. 48 state plate will be up there around $2000.

 

You'd be smarter to just lease on a company than to haul brokered freight! All the money your gonna waste just to have your own rights and to have to chase brokers for your money! I don't know what manufacturer your wanting to deal with but if you only have one truck and they need ten they are most likely gonna go with someone else. They will also most likely want you to haul cheaper than the other company in order to get this account.

 

I haven't worked much this week will $20.00 cover it...LOL

 

Its a start lol. I wont get my moneys worth out of them so thats why they sit, maybe someday ill get into some kinda lumber hauling in the MI U.P....... LOL right.

He can make money through brokers, just depends what and who he hauls for.... But like you said its gonna be hard to get on with a shipper under contract, unless you plan on under cutting someone whos already hauling it cheap.
