Authority?

IF the bank says you have to have your own authority then.....

Have someone else get your authority on your behalf, it's done every day.

 

I would suggest you put your pennies into a savings account and wait till you get home.

If you must invest it, invest it in silver.

 

Recipe for loosing a friend and a lot of money.

 

Have your friend go to the bank with you and a copy of his authority and explain this in a business plan which you should have already written up. As for being on the other side of the world while your "friend" runs your truck(s) make sure you have a very firm "contract" as to who takes care of what / when / and who is paying for what before remotely thinking this is a good idea. If the idea is buy one or two used trucks and add them to your friends fleet and hope it makes money all the while he would be depositing the profits in your account I would be 200% sure you know what you are getting into. As others said, save your money, invest in silver, or do 90 other things with other than what your thinking.

If your still sure you want to do it then convince the bank it is going under your friends authority and that your friend would also be willing to sign onto the note. At least then the friend is on the hook for making this work and has some risk involved.
