    I was wondering if anyone has any information about this.

    I know that a business license is required when you have your own authority and you travel through the state of New Jersey. Someone I knew years ago told me he was pulled over for that and OOIDA told me that it's needed also.

    I get no answer from the number that the owner operator Association gave me. I've been on the phone with three New Jersey state agencies that have no idea what I'm talking about. I can't get through to New Jersey DOT.

    Does anyone know exactly what license is needed and if there's somewhere online I can take care of this?

    If you’re based out of NJ I suspect.

    If you pickup or deliver in NJ-
    You do if you are an LLC or corporation. You do not if you’re a dba.

    At the moment I don’t remember the name of it....

    The chance of getting snagged and being forced to pay it is small; but does happen. N they don’t let you leave til it’s paid.

    It could be, but I don't think that's what it is.

    That sounds like the fee that you pay if you are out of state and you form a corporation with in New Jersey. Then you have to pay them so much per quarter for being a foreign corporation.

    That's who you have to register with and the payments go to dept of revenue. That's how they get away with it, by calling you a foreign corp doing business in the state. I've been paying them for 20 years.

    NJ isn't the only state that does it. PA, if your mileage in the state is over a certain percentage of the total miles, you have to file/pay corp taxes. NE, same thing. NM, same thing. All it takes is one pickup or drop in the state and the mileage percentage.
