Getting Broker license, To avoid friend from selling his Tractors.

I recommend you talk to some one about this in person rather on the net. There are so many factors that you are unaware due to your inexperience. No reason to get beat up here. Guys just wanna help and not have folks get burned. Your buddy I reckon is leased on and does not have authority or he would have schooled you in on details.

 

What part of not a broker license do you not understand? It's broker authority, quit using broker license.

 

$300 is the application fee

Again, a license is a state/county/city issue, a business license

Again, broker authority is not 75K

Quit calling it a license, it;s not. It's authority grant by the feds. It's why no one can really understand what you are saying

You keep using whatever term you want and it makes no sense. Go to the FMCSA and at least learn the correct terms.

 

what license? What is this license you speak of?

you have a brokers authority or a motor carriers authority. All licenses have to do with city and state.

authorities are federal and good for all states.


For the trucks you need a DOT and MC, as well as IRP/IFTA. Now if you plan on only getting loads for your own trucks then a brokers authority isn’t needed, because your position is basically finding direct customers aka Shippers, and skipping the brokers all together.


Now if you are getting a brokers authority then you need to understand that this is only needed if you are going to be brokering loads to other trucks as well not to yours only.

getting a brokers authority without having any sales experience and asking the basic questions means you are not ready for that. In fact your going to cause a lot of issues for everyone involved.


Im not sure how clearly it can be explained. You arnt getting a Nevada business up and running without physically moving here or any other states.



essentially you are trying to buy a race car before you can even learn how to race a car.

 

You can get a business license at the courthouse house for your business. When you relocate your business go to the courthouse at the new state. This is not for your authority to broker! You need to be approved by the feds for that. It is not a license. It is a authority with its own number. You are granted this after satisfying the feds by jumping thru the hoops. When granted, and you decide to relocate. No problem. You update the info with the Feds. You do this even if you don’t relocate. You must update info periodically to show address phone email and all the info is accurate. I recently bought some land to relocate so I will be doing this myself.
