    A company that we are looking into says that they dont provide a plate program.so, my question is how would a plate program work ? how much would it cost to do myself if we were just in the midwest?and how much do permits cost to go otr in the midwest?


    Thanks

    A ball park figure. Plate is about $1600-$2000. IRS form 2290 is $550 yearly. UCR is $350 yearly. Plus Insurance/Authority. Some companies will sell you the plate with a monthly deduct.:biggrin_2555:

    My plate cost $2300 this time for all 48, the 2290 will be $550 and the ucr only costs around $20 if you own up to 2 units , either truck or trailer. I have 2 different trailers I use so 3 units and the ucr cost me around $150.
    If you are leasing to a company, you will be under their authority and their insurance. You will only need what is known as bobtail insurance for when you are not under a load. It is relatively inexpensive I think.

    probably cost more. if i remember right an IL plate is expensive but it is based on what states you run and how many miles so nobody can really answer this for you except you state tag office.

    My IL plate is $1827 for and I've got every state on it. I'm paying that to Landstar so I don't know if they add an "administration" fee or anything to it.

    it was actually $1675 for 11 months because of when I signed on

    Yes, Its a Colorado plate. It went down about $300 from last year. I see the Western trucks with their WY tags, they must have a little yard up there someplace.

    you don't buy seperate permits anymore. when you apply for an apportioned plate you choose what staes you want your registration to cover and you estimate your miles running in them. this will vary your cost. there is only a few states you need to d seperatly as they don't play nice with the others. KY, NY, AZ(i think) and some others. It's too late and I'm too tired
