Disclaimer: I know I am not experienced enough to be considered worthy of having the title of "Independent Owner Operator," however, I am just getting some research.
I almost got busted in Cali for being over-length (65' max, i was 79') since I was pulling a 53' van and my wheel base was long. I however notice people pulling 53' trailers and they have those studio sleepers in back. I would like to eventually own one of those rigs, but I also don't want to get a ticket for being over-length.
Question is: do I have to get an annual permit if I want to have that kind of set up?

That's pretty much what happened. And to answer your question 379 my truck was designed for over sized loads like I-Beams and stuff like that.
And yes, I know living in Cali sucks anyways but I hope on rectifying that in the future (if the Mrs. won't mind that is).
Another question if ya'll don't mind and it's concerning authority. While I wouldn't mind too terribly much to run under someone else's authority like Landstar or Road Runner, is it worth the time/money to get my own?
Disclaimer: I am just getting as many questions answered early on as I can while I'm a young trucker, I am thinking long term here. -
