I'd like your input. I thought 0f an idea. Would it be a wise idea t0 get my own authority and rent a day cab f0r Midwest hauling? The upside is zero upfront cost aside from fuel and a rental fee. Mast trucking is also offering 1 week out, 1 week off that allows time t0 haul in the day cab in case freight is low. Just throwing ideas around. My goal here is t0 get away from being a company driver with easy transition under having a new authority. I mean should it not work out, at least it was merely a rental, right?

Good idea but day cab rules are tough.

But while you wait on the o/o 's to get here I would suggest you use the search bar for other day cab threads. So you can more narrow down your questions.
To kinda refine your idea so to speak.TruckingStraight Thanks this. -
You’ll need insurance for the authority to be active. If you search the forum, new authority insurance is generally over $20k a year.
You also need to talk to whoever you’re going to rent from to see if they will work with a new authority.TruckingStraight Thanks this. -
How do you figure you won't have to have up front cost? You will have to have insurance, your DOT/MC number and be incorporated to rent a tractor.

Hook to a bucket/hopper and you won’t need authority to haul exempt commodities, I have no idea what the rest of those jumbled letters mean but you buy a daycab like any other truck, although atleast a small 40” sleeper would be a huge benefit
