What the best state to move my trucking company to?

My personal choice would be South Dakota, no state taxes, less people, and if your far enough west its actually not that bad in winter. There is also some, not a ton, but enough freight that moves around in that areato get you back sometimes

 

South Dakota has no state income tax, but sales tax on everything. Vehicles, commercial or not, are 3%. Other purchase are 6-7% depending on local taxes.

 

Im in mn and we have really high income tax, and pretty much ever where is at least 6.75% sales tax if not into the 7%
area in and around most Minneapolis, and yes that is on vehicles to just not food, so South Dakota sounds like a huge win for me,
Been trying to convince the wife to get out of here for years, might just do it on my own soon and consider it a double win

 

I would say Texas. There’s always freight out of Laredo.

Buddy of mine did what you are doing, and he bought 4 acres and turned it into a pay to park yard. He’s got 140 trucks paying him $120/month just to park trucks and cars there.

 

If you had a property, just set a portable building on it and use that as a physical address. That way you have a building to keep stuff in and there would be no way of anyone saying you didn’t have an office on the property. They’re cheap.

 

one without state income tax.

 

There's a whole lot of Oklahoma towns where the fancy houses are anything around 150k, deserted by the last Nat gas boom, 18 months ago Sayre had some guy liquidating all types of single family properties 3b/2b mid 70's built for 25k to 50k. Looked down the road in Elk City and it was a hair higher.

 

I was born and raised in South Dakota. Not only is there sales tax on everything, they even get you when you transfer a vehicle. I bought a new pickup in 2005 when I was living in Montana, so from 2005 to 2011 it was titled and licensed in Montana. I moved back to South Dakota in 2012 and transferred my vehicle. Then a couple months later I get a letter from the SD Dept or Revenue. They decided that since the vehicle was purchased in a state with no sales tax and because no sales tax was ever collected on the vehicle that I could go ahead and cut them a check for 3% of the book value of the pickup since I transferred the title to South Dakota.
