The 2026 breakdown of LLC costs, USDOT registration, overweight permits, insurance ranges, top general contractors, and the hottest hauling materials in New York.
$200 (filing) + publication requirement ($300–$1,500 by county)
NY Department of State Division of Corporations (dos.ny.gov)
$7,500–$14,000/yr for a single tandem — NYC-based operators pay the top of that range
NYSDOT Bureau of Motor Carriers + NYC DOT for the five boroughs
New York City requires separate DEP permits for construction hauling within the five boroughs. Upstate follows standard NYSDOT overweight rules. Publication requirement inflates the LLC cost.
Winter shutdown Dec–Mar upstate; NYC construction runs through winter with weather delays. Spring thaw restrictions in the Adirondacks and western NY.
Turner, Skanska USA, Tishman, and Structure Tone dominate NYC. Upstate: LeChase, Pike, and DiMarco. NYC C&D transfer stations pay premium tipping rates back to well-connected haulers.
The full course includes a 500+ GC and aggregate supplier directory (with New York contacts), the exact LLC/USDOT/insurance sequence, and the pricing math for every material listed above.
