    My company has 100 owner operators with their own plates and IFTA accounts; I only do our company fuel taxes for a dozen company units. IFTA has nothing to do with authority and you do need 'it' when not under lease/dispatch

    I’m leased onto my friend’s authority from a different state and get my plate through him to avoid paying sales tax on equipment purchases where I live.

    Your welcome. Most times when guys get base plates from a company, it's because they don't have the funds to acquire tags on their own Most times when guys get base plates from a company, it's because they don't have the funds to acquire tags on their own.

    If I had my own authority or was leased to a carrier based in this state I would qualify for their sales tax exemption, so I figure if they don’t need it from a lot of other people then they won’t miss mine.

    Find out where they’re paying
    They might be eliminating someplace like Oregon?
    Then get a quote for the same areas

    It should be really close if not exact
    Even a few hundred more might be worth the freedom?

    IRP is all states now. You can't save money by eliminating a state.

    Thats not bad. If you run a lot of miles, it is a great deal. If you don't run to many miles probably not so much.
