I hired a guy that specialized in trucking to do all my filing, My wife did the most part, kept up with all the mileages and such, but he took care of keeping us up to date and legal for a mear 20 bucks a month per truck. After the initial fee, and would renew everything every year as needed. Bucks well spent.

My guy did not charge anywhere near a thousand bucks, but it was some years ago too. Iirc it was more like 300. I could have done it for free, but have you ever dealt with the commercial division of dmv in New Mexico, even with him setting it up I had to drive to Sante Fe every year to relicense the trucks and it was a total cluster. He was also able to fast trac the insurance filings to get me on the road quicker.
