Best state to register a trucking company and truck?

The way I understand it it's always best to do everything in whatever your home state is.

If you attempt to have your business located in another state than you reside, you'll end up paying taxes twice to that state and to your home state. Plus I think there are other legal fees for being set up in two states.

And on top of that wherever your home address is that is where your insurance is going to rate you.

No, you cannot live in one state and pick a state where you think insurance is cheaper and try to get the insurance company to go along with that.

They are not going to do that number one, and if you tell them something untrue then if you have any kind of claim they will investigate you and if they find out you told them something untrue you will have zero coverage and whatever happens you will be completely liable.

ALWAYS be as transparent as you can be with the insurance company.
