operating authority

Is this Andrew from Tuckers golden boys?

 

a auth. is a entity in itself, you will need a physical address.

any DOT audit would happen at the place of business.

you also would need a business license for the state your auth. is in.

you can also choose to LLC OR INC. THAT BUSINESS and it does'nt neccessarily have to be a CA corp. i.e. nevada or delaware type..

 

Look at it this way . The corp . is the employer . The driver is an employee . The CDL really has nothing to do with the authority and registration .
You will need a driver qualification file on yourself . You made need advice on deducting state payroll taxes . It's a good idea to talk to a tax professional (CPA or Enrolled Agent ) before getting started anyway .

 

your license has nothing to do with your authority,

 

Before the CDL program came into effect some states would require you to have a license in the state you were employed in . MA was bad about that . I knew drivers that lived in RI and worked for MA companies . They had 2 licenses , 1 in RI , 1 in MA . I knew one that got stopped by a local cop and only had a RI license . He was ticketed and the company had to send another driver to get the truck . When the CDL came into play it ended that nonsense . You get your CDL in your state of residence . As far as the driver's license goes you are an employee with a valid CDL .
