    I am based in TX. The only states I am positive I must have based on where we will be regularly traveling for work are TX, OK, KS.

    Was thinking of adding NM,AZ,UT, CO, NEB, MO, AR, LA.

    I don't have any immediate plans of going to these states rather I just kind of drew a big circle around my home location and thought it might be a possibility as I can reach all of them with a 500 mile radius.

    How big of cost difference is it going to be adding just the 3 I need vs these 11, or should I just do 47?

    Also might add that the truck initially will be primarily used for hauling our own equipment to our job sites in TX, OK, & KS but we are thinking of doing some hauling for others when things are slow for us but that may be maybe 3-4 trips a month or something like that.

    With the new IRP system you don't get to choose states anymore. They give you all jurisdictions and you pay based on the jurisdictions you ran in.

    So how do they figure your rates for the first year?

    Mine was based off mileages from previous year. They might use their "fleet average" for new carriers.

    New carrier applicants have to submit their mileage for the first year using IRP's fleet average table. After your first year, when you go to renew your regs, you only submit the actual mileage you ran in each state.
