Federal fees also apply everywhere

Whatever state you run in, federal credentials apply on top of Texas's fees: your USDOT number (free), MC operating authority ($300 per authority type), the annual Unified Carrier Registration, and the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290). A brand-new carrier's full first-90-days list is in the new MC authority checklist.
