Owner-operator truckers and small trucking companies use anonymous LLCs for personal liability separation and asset protection.

Wyoming anonymous LLC. The LLC holds the truck title, USDOT and MC numbers, fuel and insurance accounts, and signs broker contracts. For multi-truck fleets, consider a holding company structure with each truck or each driver as a sub-LLC.
Trucking accidents result in major litigation. Plaintiffs' attorneys aggressively pursue every entity in the chain. An anonymous LLC means the owner-operator's personal assets are not easily discoverable through state records tied to the trucking business.
Strong asset protection. No state income tax — significant for owner-operators with $100k+ net income. Best banking acceptance for trucking businesses with irregular settlement income.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (recommended) | $397 | Best balance of cost, anonymity, banking acceptance. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest. No annual report. Banking is harder. |
Yes. FMCSA records the LLC as the carrier; the human behind the LLC is not on the public motor carrier record.
Required. Federal minimums are $750k-$1M depending on cargo. The LLC shield does NOT replace adequate insurance.
For 3+ trucks, yes. Each truck in its own LLC, under a Wyoming holding LLC, isolates the liability of each truck's accidents.
USDOT and IRP / IFTA cover multi-state operations. State-by-state foreign qualification is generally not required for interstate trucking.
