Is it feasible to run just Texas with a flatbed until I receive my IFTA documents and make decent money? Texas IFTA is taking 8 weeks to process IFTA accounts.
Texas intrastate flatbed until I receive IFTA?

@God prefers Diesels I believe has went through this....

OP, he will reply soon. He's either fixing his truck or already planning his next load to the Northeast......
singlescrewshaker, cke, Dadetrucking305 and 1 other person Thank this. -
OP, you can make it in Texas. But you're going to work for that money, and so is your truck. Here's an example of a week:
Home base is just Southeast of SA in Floresville.
Take a load from near SA to Weslaco.
Deadhead to Corpus and take a load to Midland.
Deadhead to Leuders and take a load to Corpus.
Take a load from Corpus to Midland.
Deadhead to Slaton, and take a load to Boerne.
Unload Saturday morning, and deadhead back to the house.
Work on the truck rest of Saturday and Sunday.
Start over again on Monday.
$4,800
It's a lot of miles, but it put food on the table while I was waiting on IRP and IFTA. Once you get your decals, you can double your money. Get your New Mexico weight/distance yearly permit, and New York HUT decal. Don't go to the Northeast without a dump valve on your rear axle. I haven't bothered with KY permit, because it's easy to avoid that state.Speed_Drums, singlescrewshaker, cke and 1 other person Thank this. -

Still haven’t received my IFTA and want out of sand hauling bad since we are being moved from south Texas to shot hole west Texas.Ready to pull the trigger on a trailer and run intrastate until the IFTA eventually arrives but still torn between flatbed and stepdeck.
