2 companies using same truck question?

Just do like the that Johnny Cash song Rock Island Line.. Tell them you got pig iron..

 

They do this all the time in the airline industry. Company A will do passenger operations but company b will do cargo ops and all is operated by the same group of people.

As a truck company president and CEO you could have company a and establish a company b operated by company a like Crete does with Shaffer and Hunt. Heck I am sure a lot do it this way.

My guess is Adam has a trucking company that hauls mixed loads. Yet he also has a lucrative contract with some one like Budweiser that asks he tow a trailer for their clydesdailes that reflects only Budweiser.

My guess is the concern to make the truck appear to be Budweiser he needs to block out Adams trucking to reflect something along the lines of "Another fine example of Budweiser" (or what ever). The concern is that if he blocks out Adams trucking temporarily will DOT have "kittens" with the name being different to the DOT and what ever numbers?

Is this what your asking?

 

Why can't you have company A contract their services to company B to only pull their trailer? That way company A's power unit is simply providing drayage services to company B. That way you could still have company B's logo and lettering on the trailer for the promotional exposure you need and still run everything on company A's authority. Company B would just be one of company A's many satisfied customers. I have pulled several power only loads like that over the years.

 

Maybe I missed something, but if Company "b" is going to have 75% of the business and advertising and company "A" only has 25 % (which I can only guess is to fill in when the company "B" feight is slow) why not fix the trucks to match the company "B" side and then lease yourself (so to speak) to company "A" when company "B" is slow? The reason I am suggesting this is ....I am pretty sure the company "B" specialty freight pays much better than reefer freight of company "A".

 

Yes if B is owned and operated by A then 1 Authority will cover it. This is not a lease situation, there A owns B.

 

Have you ever seen one of those nascar haulers?

One pulled up next to me at a fuel island once. Forgot whose car it was, but it was one of the big boys. The tractor said NOTHING ON IT, except for very fine print with "Operated by Action Motorsports" and an MC number.........

Why cant you do something like that.

 

You probably need

Leasing agreement between 2 companies.

Name, USDOT, MC of company A on the truck.

Leased TO:
Company B information

 

ever seen a truck all fancy painted up with in big lettering, "name of small regional grocery store chain", and then...a JB hunt ribbon on the sidebox? I mean, seriously, like dollar general isnt a trucking company. Jeff Gordon isnt a trucking company. Meijer isnt a trucking company. Family dollar isnt a trucking company. Target isnt a trucking company. Etc....

This is pointless.
