    Well I came through there Friday. I think it's weather related. Still wet and not much lumber/timber moving yet. Wait till Spring it'll pick up.

    Do they set up a definitive time of the audit like an appointment? What if your under load 3 states away, can they allow for an adjustment? Or just make sure your there when its time?

    This is what the law states, it's in the Texas IRP handbook.....


    Established Place of Business The International Registration Plan defines an established place of business as:

    “Established Place of Business” means a physical structure located within the Base Jurisdiction that is owned or leased by the Applicant or Registrant and whose street address shall be specified by the Applicant or Registrant. This physical structure shall be open for business and shall be staffed during regular business hours by one or more persons employed by the Applicant or Registrant on a permanent basis (i.e., not an independent contractor) for the purpose of the general management of the Applicant’s or Registrant’s trucking-related business (i.e., not limited to credentialing, distance and fuel reporting, and answering telephone inquiries). The Applicant or Registrant need not have land line telephone service at the physical structure. Records concerning the Fleet shall be maintained at this physical structure (unless such records are to be made available in accordance with the provisions of Section 1035). The Base Jurisdiction may accept information it deems pertinent to verify that an Applicant or Registrant has an Established Place of Business within the Base Juri

    I had the same thing in MI, the IRP lady would not give me plates giving troubles about my home address. I dont remember what convinced her, but I think any utility bill should work. You can have an electricity bill for example, with your company name on it, but not your personal. Better call IRP and ask them what exactly do they need

    Man, there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of 1 man operations in Texas who don't have a physical business (building) occupied by an employee from 8 to 5, answering phones, processing paperwork etc.

    My sense is you are you are making a bigger deal out of this than necessary.

    Use your home address home as the location where you keep your records, get your authority and roll on, driver.

    I had my DOT authority and moved from California to Indiana and North Carolina. Had deactivated and reactivated my authority many times and used my home address as the physical address and a PO Box as mailing address. A business address is not required. What is required is proof of residency in the state you are trying to get the IRP plates. Proof of residency can be satisfied by utility bill and lease agreement for home.

    If they give you a hard time, go back to the office at a later time to get a new person or go to a different IRP office.
