Legal CDL trailer no IFTA/IRP!

Nice trailer. Those don’t usually get too many complaints from what I have seen.

 

@Xray4 Very Nice setup! A good pair of airbag load levelers on the SWR axle will help greatly in towing with that combo! Getting started presents much to learn. Having a Class A CDL + extra Trailer capacity puts you ahead of many hotshot guys. As you build broker contacts be sure to mention you have higher capacity (greater than 8-10k avg) and see what comes of it. IFTA is a toll to access a larger pool of loads. Find loads you want to run & that satisfies your business' operating margin requirements. In time, you may not mind IFTA especially if it offers cleaning up on items non-cdl guys can not touch. You have an advantage deploy it to build a business! A note, most popular ELD's have auto IFTA tracking and reports building features to help stay organized with the documentation. Using one card to purchase all fuel is also helpfu. A search of the net will provide much info.
Be Safe out there and good luck!

 

They are stationed in Norfolk Va. now, with 2 children and going on 13 years of service. We are very blessed.

 

I just went through NM and OR this past week.
NM got red light on Prepass.

DOT says I’ll always get red light because I’m apportioned so they must check my weight. If I’m over 26k, I’ll need permit.

Called OR before I crossed into it, lady said it works exactly the same for them too.

and sure enough I got red light at every open scale house in both states.

 

I don’t use my Prepass for toll roads. Too cheap. Even if it adds an hour of drive time, I refuse.

 

I don’t mess with EZ-Pass any longer. I had one when I lived in NJ and thought it was great until they tried to bill me a $50 fine for a toll that I clearly paid (showed them the document that proved it). They said sorry were fining you anyway and I refused to pay it. Luckily i’d Moved out of state by the time the collections letter came and there was nothing they could do to me. Upon further digging I learned this is a little scam they pull on tons of people.

 

I have no idea what most of what you said means. But you got a like, just because you got me to read it three times. Before I realised I need to find a beginners thread. Thank you
