Is Part Time Owner Op Possible

Sure cancel your insurance and lose your authority then reactivate your authority for the month or two you need it.

you have to maintain insurance to keep your authority “active” otherwise your a new guy every year.

 

You can drop it to the minimum requirement, but I don’t know how much that would save you.
Have you thought about working for a temp agency?

do a search in your area.

check craigs list, indeed, career builder, etc,etc.

 

Is very doable,i only work six months a year and earn enough to live comfortably but everything i own is paid for:truck,trailer,house and cars.

 

Part time is possible if you subsidize it……

Question is do you want to use your own money to keep the truck solvent?

 

It's possible, I MIGHT hit 60k miles for the year this year. It doesn't pay very well though, I'd hate to be trying to support a family off this sort of lackluster work ethic.

 

Fmcsa allows a voluntary surrender of authority. Many seasonal businesses do this every year. If you simply cancel your insurance it is considered an involuntary surrender. If voluntary, reinstate your insurance, fill out the fmcsa forms and within a week you are good to go. Our insurance agent said over 60 days the companies they sell for will consider you a new entrant. I did it from May through October. My premium actually decreased when I told them I'd shop around.
