Well, you could do what I did one time. I had two trucks, each leased to different companies. I drove one of them and a driver on the other. We were in the same area when his truck started giving problems.

I switched out trucks with him, and we each finished out the week delivering and picking up. I had his truck pulling my companies trailer and him with mine pulling his trailer.When we fueled we just put down the correct truck and tag number that should have went with the trailer.

This is a little risky, but you could use your tag and insurance on the new truck, act like you're in blue, and hunt for power only loads home, if you can get your IFTA stickers off blue without destroying them.

I'm lookign for a medical scanner to power only down this way. Still waiting to hear back. I though about trip leasing it for one trip before before I get it signed on with LS but i'd have my LS plates.

Good luck AL!

Hopefully this turns things around for you and you can get out of the
Texas area and make some real money.
