You are gonna have to give a bit more info, what GVWR truck, do you plan on just running Illinois or OTR?
OH Yeah, the registration is the cheap part, then you go the dreaded 4 letter word - insurance!
Do you plan on running O/O or leased out? Gonna need DOT #, MC #, and depending on which states you run, you may need a TX DOT, KY DOT, New Mexico requires an additional permit as do others.
And above all don't forget IFTA!
I am NOT AN EXPERT on this!!! I do know that it is complicated. My recommendation is to check out some of the services that do your registrations and permits for you. Probably a LOT cheaper to pay them the first time then renew on your own next year. I know I've seen these services on load boards, OOIDA and other places but don't remember exactly where right off hand.
Hopefully someone that knows where to go will chime in and point you in the right direction. Don't try to do it alone. A friend just got fined, he though he had all the permits and registrations he needed ony to find that in Texas he needs a TX DOT # if he hauls even 1 load a year intrastate!
