First off, you should get your own tags. Yes, DMV will ask you to provide a safety carrier for IFTA registration and if you don't have your own authority you'll have to provide the the MC# of the carrier you will lease on to, as well as a lease agreement. But any carrier looking to hire you will be more than happy to provide that (that's a standard procedure). Also you will need bobtail insurance but that shouldn't cost you more than a $2500/year (200/month). By doing so, if you're not happy with your carrier, you can always leave and, at least, you have your tags and your own bobtail insurance and you can lease on to a different carrier.
Second of all, if you need to keep your overhead low, you can work without a trailer doing power only loads. Personally, I prefer loading my own trailer, but power only loads can make sense too, especially until you get your feet wet.
Good luck and, if you have more questions, feel free to reply here.Gtrucking Thanks this. -
