    What does it take to get your own authority? Once you do, what are the legal requirements? I know about IFTA but don't know how to keep track of miles or file it. Any info on IFTA, IRP, base plates, permits, tolls, annual filings, audits, or anything else I haven't mentioned would be appreciated.

    Sorry, I searched the forum and a bunch of threads came up but no real good information in any of them.

    You need to read Double Yellow's thread. The whole thing. Then come back with additional questions. He's got your questions mostly answered I think.

    There's also Facebook groups you can join as well .Trucking with authority is one group. Rates and Lanes is another one I believe. The trucking with authority group has a files tab at the top with the step by step on what you need to do to get your own authority. Getting the authority is actually very easy its keeping the business going afterwards that's the difficult part. Some extremely knowledgeable people in those face groups as well as this forum

    Ok, since it seems like you're trying to absorb all the knowledge you can. I like to watch the videos that Kenny Long has made he changed broadcasting channels and I don't know where he went but he has a real good video on IFTA. I learned a lot from his IFTA video. Fueling pre IFTA and things like that
