Any one else get a bill for escrow account money for Oregon permit?

Heres some somewhat sobering news........Ar and Ks Did away with that stupid equipment value tax......You DO NOT need to Pay New Jersey a foreign corp tax if you do not do conduct business Intrastate there

As For intrastate authorities? Theres just a few States left that require it, (I think texas and a couple others).. So, Improvement has been made

UCR is here to stay (That was the Reason to Knock off Single state registrations) And the IFTA surcharge taxes arent going anywhere either..But are still reasonable fees

 

What they do is take a certain amount on top of the permit cost till you have the escrow paid off...... You can also set-up your own account with them n provide your own surety bond.... That is what I did till I said F'em I'm not going there anymore.....

 

Only went to OR once last year, paid in advance. Was told you can't pay at the POE anymore. No escrow needed, just gave me the rate and paid it.

Thought I was told if there were more than a certain number of trips in a 12mo period, you have to fund an account.

 

I refuse to go to those stats that make it so expensive in which to operate. If you look at the actual cost per mile of doing business in Oregon, it just isn't worth it.I took California and the other communist states on the left coast off my cab card this year. I am also sick and tired of New York and the other communist states on the east coast. So, I no longer cross the Hudson. With the high tolls with semingly endless increases and now the NY HUT coming back, it is no longer worth the hassle. Pennsylvania increased their fuel taxes considerably. Kansas got rid of their illegal property tax, but added money to their portion of the IRP. I can easily go around Kansas. I believe that if you don't like the taxes or how some of these states do business, just stay out of those states. Pennsylvania recently went up on their fuel taxes. I won't be buying fuel in Pennsylvania. Stop complaining about these states and steer clear. Stop spending money with them. I have not taken the Pennsylvania toll road in many years. It is cheaper to go around it. Obama wants to make it easier for states to place tolls on existing roads that we have already paid for with our taxes. I cannot control the taxes that these states place on this industry. I can control where I go and how I get there. If more truckers changed thir behavrior then stats would either change or collect less revenue. Unless you are a company driver you can control where you go and whre you decide to operate. It is your decision as to where you fuel. Start taking control over your business and stop allowing these states to charge what they wish. If you don't want to give Oregon a big escrow then don't go there. If you don't like the way Kansas does business, then don't go there. Tired of the never ending increases on tolls in the northeast, then stay out of there.

 

G/MAN...

I think you are making a MOUNTAIN out a molehill.......


The only state I would concerened with is Oregon.......

I run Ny,Pa and the eastern states, Its not that bad, Charge accordingly when you go there

 

They have always had a deposit for their road tax. After a few years of on time payments they gave it back.

 

And you Agree with that?

Im not sure im going to Give someone $2500-$4,000 of my money so they can collect interest on that for a few years Multiply that by the thousands of carriers doing it..

Are they returning this Money with Dividends accrued? I Bet Not,
