Changed motor carrier, how to update registration?

Call your local state IRP office. When I switched carriers they told me not to worry about it until it was time to renew my registration/plate. This was in Michigan. I waited, had no issues and there was no extra charge. As long as the plates are paid and you have the new carrier lease with you and their supporting documents, I would not worry until you go to renew. But, still give the IRP a call, they probably changed something for all I know.

 

Not necessary to change it until renewal. Had a carrier get angry with me over this. A few guys went to another carrier who then lost the work so they came back here. One of them renewed his registration with their info before coming back.

He gets stopped in a roadside and the trooper ignores the door signs, sitting at his laptop with the guy's registration and he attributes the inspection to the carrier on the paperwork instead of our company.

The other carrier wanted me to fess up; like he never heard of Data Q.....
