A: Hi lulu, here is what steps to take for freight hauling. You don't need a special license for that except the CDL and the regular business registration licenses. That said, forming an LLC
is your best bet and cheapest insurance to avoid personal liability, given hauling is prone to accidents and thus lawsuits.
Registering as an LLC
will automatically also register your business name "WEA Trucking". Especially as a freight hauling business, you need to form an LLC
because you are liable to lawsuits if you provide your services close to others. Think what is going to happen if you injure someone's eyes.
To start a business in TX for freight hauling business, first get your LLC
certificate and the LLC
operating agreement.
Then, get an EIN and a business license. Since you have freight hauling in TX, you need a sales tax ID also called a seller's permit because you can use it to buy the freight hauling materials, merchandise, equipment and food wholesale.
