Question for all you guys, I'll try to explain it best I can...
I have a truck now with our farm name and DOT number that we use for hauling our own grain to the local elevator. A neighbor is looking to lease me on as an owner/operator with my truck pulling his hopper bottom trailer. The way I understand it is when I am running under his authority pulling his trailer I need to have his name and DOT number on the truck as well, that sound right? My question is am I still able to haul my own grain with my trailer on weekends and such when not working for the neighbor if I have both DOT numbers on the truck?
Also how does it work with insurance when going back and forth working for the neighbor and then myself?

You would also need a lease agreement that allows you to use the truck under your own numbers when he doesn't have work. Younwould be responsible for physical damage when leased to him, he would need to cover everything else and declare your truck on his policy.
Double check with your insurer to make sure they will not have any issue, there may be policy exclusions in place.Mnmover99, Scalemaster and tscottme Thank this. -
Also, check with your home state. If your truck is licensed as a farm vehicle, you may not be able to do non-farm business with it. (non YOUR farm)
