Motor carrier owners might not realize the time, energy, and processes involved in the merger and acquisition process.

The first place to start is having a clear objective for what you want the acquisition to achieve. For example, if you’re a dry-van carrier, it might be worth considering acquiring a flatbed or re**er carrier to fulfill a customer’s shipping needs with various options.

Let’s take a look at the most common fleet licensing items to consider.

Due to the weather, Carolyn's Notary at 58 Copperfield Circle, Lititz will be CLOSED. If you need licensing help, CNS Licensing at 151 Koser Road, Lititz WILL BE OPEN today.

PennDOT is establishing a system of staggered apportioned registration renewal in a manner that apportioned registration will expire in no less than four periods throughout the year.

This means it will allow current apportioned registrants with a fleet expiration date in the month of May the option to change their fleet expiration date to a different month of the year.

To implement and maintain this staggered system, PA-DOT may prorate annual apportioned registration fees.

Here's what to know!
