Watt & Stewart Trucking Inc. · San Angelo, TX
A diesel engine idling before sunrise, a dispatcher's phone buzzing and a loaded trailer easing onto an empty highway.
Short answer: Apply For A State Employer Number Id: a trucking company in San Angelo typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
The Texas version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339). Texas expects sellers of taxable items, including wholesalers, to hold a permit, and resale certificates require the buyer's Texas taxpayer number. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate. Supplies such as fuel, tires and truck parts are normally taxable when bought, since they are used up in the work rather than resold, so a resale certificate generally will not cover them.
Tip: Interstate hauling brings carrier registrations that a plain business license will not cover, so ask before the truck leaves the lot.

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.
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.
