Advice on getting plates

I am finally taking the leap from company driver to o/o. I've bought a truck and trailer, but I have yet to bring them home. My question is this, what do I need to legally drive them home? I called the Ohio BMV and they said I can register them in my personal name, (no way not happening) or a business name. From what I understand I have to have an EIN# and register the business name with the state of ohio. Is this correct? Oh yea.....everything will be insured (bobtail and deadhead). I already know who I'm leasing on to and have the lease (still yet to be signed) in hand. My goal is to be under my first load July 1st. Thanks.

 

I don't want to put all my trust in some person who works the counter at the BMV. For all I know she started last week. I want to walk in there confident that I have everything I need.

 

Yes!! Yes!! Thank you Derailed That's the info I was looking for. Wife is an accountant. She is already on the LLC.

 

Than you everyone for your help. As far as the carrier providing plates......my truck, my trailer, my business, my plates.
