    Hey guys. Looking for some great companies that I could lease my truck on. I have a 25 cascadia. Looking to do dry van or reefer loads. I am planning to get my own authority soon but of course once I get it I will need for it to age. Any assistance would be great. Thanks

    Just get the authority now if that’s your end game

    home base would help though if you are stuck on leasing,

    Does “aging” authority even work like it used to now that brokers want to see inspections and such on your authority?

    Legally they can’t force dispatch you either, even if you’re not choosing your own loads. I was leased to 3 carriers doing various things over the time I owned trucks, none were self dispatch and I was never forced to take a load I didn’t want.

    Reality is why take someone you know is going to leave at any time. Turnover hurts insurance.

    Aging really does nothing anymore.

    If you do lease on, don't mention you have your own authority...insurance reasons

    Well Dam# maybe you should've thought about this before you got the truck!! LOL!! Here in Texas you could try LandStar!! You kind of put the cart before the horse here in this scenario..You could net 2k plus on average at Land Star.. All The Best Driver, yes let the authority age...
