    If I wanted to get my CVED and USDOT numbers and let them sit for a while (for operation intrastate) before actually purchasing a tractor…just how much would 6 months to a year of it being in existence actually help with procuring work?

    Also, I’m aware you need insurance for this to even be possible. Is there some sort of minimum insurance policy I could purchase just to get my numbers and keep them active before purchasing a truck?

    Can't activate any authority without insurance and you can't get insurance without a truck.

    If you have an MC you’re good to go.

    Yes you can get insurance without a truck for starting your company.
    Some insurance places will some won’t, check with insurance provider.
    You get the 750000 required general liability, nothing else.

     
    Badmon Thanks this.

    Plus, just because you are picking up and delivering in the same state doesn't necessarily mean that it's an intrastate load. For example if you're picking it up at a rail yard or a drop lot that the load has already crossed state lines it's a interstate load because it's a load that matters not just your leg of the trip.

    They won’t request VIN? guess not because there’s no auto and MC only requires GL right?

    It’s all about the Benjamin’s.

    You tell the insurance agent what your planning, and they’ll take your money.
    Your getting setup so that when you get your truck, you can put it to work, not be 30-45-60 days waiting on FMCSA to issue your numbers, you’ll be ready good to go.
