Operating Authority Revoked

Just the facts the names will be changed to protect the innocent. That is if there is any innocent ones involved which doubt.

 

Typically what happens is the revoked carrier will lease their trucks onto another carrier. It's perfectly legal, but you'll have to pull the old DOT number off and put the new signs on to be compliant. The old carrier is going to have to negotiate a deal to bring the trucks on to the new carrier so it will take a few days

 

What if the new carrier is owned by the brother of the owner of the old (revoked) carrier...?

 

That's something for FMCSA to decide.

 

typically, when your running under someone's number. that means leased on.

when my company did it. they had signs on the truck. LEASED TO NAME and dot number.

and the OP DID mention they had another number to run. which probably means another company name also.

 

Just like Landstar running with Inway, Ranger, etc numbers. I'm sure if the Inway authority had problems I'd have a Ranger number on my truck to keep going. When I used to work for Core, it was kinda the same. There was Sharkey, Core, and Sisbro. We all yanked the same trailers and freight. I'm sure if Sisbro tanked and lost their authority, they'd just throw Sharkey or Core numbers on the trucks and keep running.

 

doeosn't matter. your leasing on.

that's what happened when i was placed in that situation with the company i was with.

pretty big family, plenty of truck operations and dot numbers to go around.

all one has to do, is swap the signs on the truck.

 

Completely legal to say the least. Both companies have two different entities.. DOT numbers, MC numbers. What they did is completely normal and probably thousands of other companies who do the same when they are in a bind and have a backup MC# waiting. I find nothing wrong it it as long as that D.O.T number is active and running. Nothing to worry about.

 

How do you know this is legal? I looked through FMCSR and a host of other places and haven't found anything that says whether or not this is okay.
The owner of the truck and trailer had its operating authority revoked and does not have a valid DOT number. Now they want to lease to a carrier (in Texas) and operate under its operating authority and DOT number. Is there a handbook or statute that talks about this?

 

It is the CARRIER who has their operating authority revoked.

If the owner of the equipment has a valid lease agreement with a carrier who has valid authority, that is perfectly legal. It is called Owner Operator.
