<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bdog, post: 7758416, member: 154234&quot;]Rocking 4M is spot on.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you stay in Texas you don’t need IFTA or IRP.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;IRP is the apportioned registration. It has nothing to do with whose trailer you pull it has to do with splitting up your registration fees if you run in numerous states. </p><p><br /></p><p>IFTA is the fuel tax. Essentially you have to keep track of all miles driven and where you buy fuel and they split up the fuel taxes among the states based on what percentage of your driving was there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting a MC number (also referred to as authority) allows you to haul for hire across state lines. The MC number itself is cheap but you will need a commercial auto policy that files a form with the FMCSA before it activates. Getting insurance that will file this form is expensive. Five figures expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you only operate in Texas you need intrastate authority from the Texas DMV and they too require an insurance filing but the insurance can be had much cheaper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
