Truck Registration/Title and Temp Trip/Fuel Permit

Hi,
I've been a CDL driver for 4 years now and finally I decided to get my own authority and formed my own trucking company (LLC). I have some questions and need some helps. I bought my truck in FL dealership and drove it home to NC last week with a temp plate. My understanding is I have to wait on the title to transfer to NC so that I can register the truck before I can do the IRP/IFTA. I called NC IRP office in Raleigh this morning and asked how long it takes for title transfer during this time. The person on the phone was not very helpful and she told me she don't know how long. I don't wanna paying on insurance and other upfront expenses and just let the truck sit here and do nothing. I aleady have DOT and my MC number just activated a few days ago.

Can I run some intrastate (within NC) loads while I am waitting on to get the truck title transfer/registration since I have no IRP/IFTA now?

Can I get the temp trip and fuel permits to run some interstate loads while i am waitting on to get my truck register with NC and setup the IRP/IFTA? It could be weeks (really don't know how long) before I can have my IRP/IFTA ready to go. I really don't want my truck just sitting here and cannot do anything but still paying for insurance/expense and no income. Espeically now the $$ is the best ever for freight.

My point is, I want the truck start running in anyway is possible.

Any sugguestions/advice will be greatly appreciated!

 

I am not sure. In fact, I don't know if I will get a copy of the title since I am financing the truck and it has a lienholder. DAT agents help me set up my authority and state permits. They asked me for the title # bc the IRP office might need it to process the application and the title number is requested on one of the forms. I am confused. How do I know the title #? Below is the application form that ask for plate number and title number.
