One step closer to Independent

Congrats on getting the authority active and having a kid potentially choosing Wake Forrest to continue her education. Bank of Dad better not leave his truck parked too long LOL. You have my respect sir, tackling the o/o stuff while pushing a young one into the university.

BigBadBill: Thanks for that pointer. Being an i/t geek by trade, I have the full version of Acrobat and even with that it can be easier to print, fill out, and scan stuff. Great tip that'll I'll be looking into for myself to avoid the $$$ for more copies of Acrobat.

 

I wish she would choose Wake Forrest she just going over to play panio for some judges, some kind of thing they do every year. She wants to go to school up north She wanna try to get into Harvard thats why I dont have life insurance.

But I got my Tags and IFTA stickers today two thumbs up the the NCDMV in Charlotte was in and out in less than a hour and a half. cant say the same for the people that was there to get 4 wheeler tags and drivers license

And the tags was $1400 for all 47 left OR out Had to pay $150 tax and $42 for title transfer

 

Why Oregon? Is your reefer even California legal?

 

Yes Its ca legal til the 31 of dec but Oregon wants a $2500 bond from what I hear and if they bust you on an inspection you forfeit it and I dont plan on going there a lot just trip permit when I do If I find myself goinging there offten I might change it but by next time around I will know more

 

That's for that weight mile (or whatever they call it) tax, you don't have to get that to be apportioned for OR, you just have to stop at the POE and get a permit. I don't plan on going there either, but you never know.

 

Question: why is your(his) apportionment $1400 while mine is almost $2400. Mine is in California but I know many other states are close to $2400 as well.

Point: you need the apportionment for OR to run in OR. The trip permit is only for road tax and does not replace the lack of apportionment.

 

Best I understand it, running a lot of miles in some states that have higher apportionment fees makes the next year's plates cost more. That part should be the same no matter what state the plates are from. Then the home state charges a fee(s) for the tag and for doing the apportionment, etc. IIRC, TN charges about $140, maybe some states are much higher, I don't know. I've only had mine two years, the first it was $1415, then about $1460 the second, just for the sake of comparison.

 

Most states pro-rate. That may be the case in CA. Also, if he gave a different estimate of what miles he is going to run than what you have that can make a difference. Most people start using the estimate provided by the state but I have seen a few that have an idea of what states they are going to run in.

 

Yea thats what I'm hearing now but I am still in the learning stage. Just like the load I took back home yesterday It pays to find out exacly what it is your hauling before you commit to a load. The broker said it plastic I asked was it bail of recycled "NO" ok. When I got to the pickup I started to say HELLo NO but went on and took it never again had to pay extra to get trailer washed out because it had glass in it But it paid ok
And I still havn't got my certificate from FMCSA but I took Josh.C advise and paid $17 to download and made $1250 and was only gone from home about 22 hours so it was well worth the $17 Thanks Josh. C

 

So on that $17 download, did you find that online? Or did your phone blow up when the authority went active and you took one of the calls? I was searching and only found scammy looking sites offering that along with checking it daily for $35 or more. I can check it myself for $35!
