Most of you know I retired about 6 weeks ago, since then I have been working on helping my youngest son into the trucking business. He had been driving for a local company a few years and decided he wanted to go out on his own, with full authority. This has been the biggest regulation cluster I have ever dealt with (it is equal to or worse than trying to get a permit to build a pond on your land from ACoE) bought a truck, purchased the necessary insurance, hired a trucking consultant to help us through the legalities and are still struggling to get approved-SCDMV is a major issue, the consultant got us thru federal pretty well. SC requirements are like trying to find a needle in a haystack for a new company. Any of you guys in this business that might can give some advice also? Our major issue is they want 4 items of documentation confirming business address. We registered the LLC- sent it, title for truck-sent it, not accepting county taxes paid on truck, or insurance address paid on truck. Has no other info, plans to run business from his home address so power bill, taxes, etc are all in his name not LLC. The Consultant said the person we are dealing with in the SCDMV is the worst, said SC has the most ridiculous requirements in relation to all the other states and they knew this DMV employee by name. Trucking is currently a shortage in the country, you would think they would be trying to help. Rant over.
