I was remembering a post on here a while back about getting a business ID (EIN) number, and the reasons for and against it. Even though self employeed I had gone alot of years without getting one 'just because' I didn't feel like messing with it. Well, I discovered something new today, at least in the state of NC. Having gotten the paperwork done on my service truck over the weekend, actually transferring the title to me, I had to go to DMV to get the plates. Since I tag it for 38,000 lbs it's considered a commercial tag and unlike times past, to get a commercial plate like that you now have to have an EIN number before they will do anything. I don't know exactly when this started here in NC, or if it's a Federal thing, but the guy in front of me had to get one for the first time in quite a few years in business, and a guy that came in as I was leaving, who had been in business for nearly 20 years, was also told he had to get one before they could get all of his tag/registration stuff handled. Add on a new $76 dollar, yearly, 'registration' fee for something that none of the other stuff covers, on top of the other $540 plus in fees, etc they hit you up for on the tag, etc, and it all makes for quite an adventurous day at the DMV. Fortunately my 'day' didn't last but about an hour because there was only one guy in front of me in the Commercial office, but for the amount of money spent in the amount of time it was spent in, it makes me wish I had been somewhere like Victoria Secrets buying gifts for the wife...insteaf of at the DMV....even as skimpy as those outfits are I'd have walked out feeling like I got more for my money than I did with a small rectangle of stamped sheet metal and a couple of sheets of paper ...LOL
So, how many of you have tried getting, renewing, etc a heavy commercial plate recently and ran into this, or is it just an NC thing right now?

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
