    ooida. truckstop.com . dat loadboard. just to name a few... its not difficult to do yourself... it doesnt cost alot of money to get setup but i waited 4 months for my license plate and ifta to come back, which is what cost the most money.

    OOIDA or NASTC can file for DOT, drug consortium, BOC3.. Most of the work you do yourself. As @D.Tibbitt wrote: IFTA and IRP take a while. Michigan it took 4.5 months and my state rep to get involved for someone at the state IRP to do their job.

    seems like it depends on the state. be thankful you dont have to wait long. not every state is like that

    Yep it was beyond stupid. All I wanted is to give the unstaffed office $2k. Unacceptable.
