When a person decides to become an owner operator, is he supposed to be registered for all the states he wants to drive in, or is the carrier supposed to have all the states registered before a driver even joins the company?
My dad ( an O/O) already has registered to drive in all the states before he leased on to my company. I just had to put my US DOT in his IRP Vehicle Schedule form and we're good to run loads in what ever state he is registered in.
So my question is, when i hire a new owner operator is he supposed to be registered to run the states he wants to before I hire him?
