✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) trucking :

  • Sole Proprietor,
  • LLC,
  • Corporation or
  • Partnership.
    After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.


✔ Biz License


Mobile Business Tax Registration ( truckingBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.


✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) trucking business using a fictitious business name in Mobile County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) fictitious business name.   For instance you open a(n) trucking business and you name it "Superior trucking Group". You will need to file a fictitious business name for that name.
✔ Seller Permit

In trucking you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states). You will need it if you sell or want to buy wholesale any trucking related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN


Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number. I.e., a AL Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) AL  State Employer Tax Number  

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Mobile, Incorporate in AL  or  form a(n) AL LLC . 

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.

✔ Incorporation


If you do form an Transportation, Communications llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your trucking business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Mobile business name. In lieu of recording a Mobile County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in   or form an AL LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .

ORA Transport LLC: what licenses does a trucking company need in Albany, NY?

Hi Eric, ORA Transport LLC already has the right structure, so next come the trucking specifics. You will want an EIN, plus operating authority and fuel-tax registrations for the trucks. Hauling is a service, so a New York Certificate of Authority isn't normally needed unless you also sell taxable goods. Parts or supplies for resale would use Form ST-120, but fuel and repairs you use up would not.

Short answer: ORA Transport LLC: for a trucking company in Albany, New York, the core set is a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.

Buying and selling wholesale in New York

In New York, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Authority. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Resale Certificate (Form ST-120). New York treats sellers of tangible goods as vendors who must register, and a buyer needs a Certificate of Authority to issue Form ST-120. A New York Certificate of Authority must be displayed at the business, and buyers list its number on the ST-120 resale certificate. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Your Albany filing checklist

  1. LLC – limits personal liability, and an LLC under its exact name needs no extra DBA
  2. Certificate of Assumed Name (DBA) – registers the trade name on your sign, website and invoices
  3. Federal tax ID number (EIN) – wholesale suppliers and banks ask for it on credit and account applications
  4. Certificate of Authority – only if you also sell taxable goods; many services aren't taxed, but some states tax certain services
  5. State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance once you hire
  6. Albany business license – the city or county tracks who does business there and checks safety rules
  7. Motor carrier authority
  8. Vehicle registration and fuel tax permits

Same permit, different names in other states

  • Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
  • Texas: the Sales and Use Tax Permit. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate.
  • Tennessee: the sales and use tax certificate of registration. Tennessee's business tax classifies a business as wholesaler or retailer each year, depending on whether wholesale sales exceed half its total sales.

Industry code: NAICS 484121 (General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Truckload)
