Having your own authority

Have you read that for yourself on Illinois DOT site. See it for yourself then you will know whether it is true.

 

That would interesting if its true, but would put a lot of guys out of business new entrants insurance is high

 

Maybe it is time just to find another company to lease with.

 

Hes probably getting shaken down for workers comp insurance on the guys leased to him.

 

No. No such laws are taking place. It would be an absurd for something like that to be mandatory. It is nothing but B.S.

 

Don't know about Illinois but worker comp is usually paid by the independent contractors if your leased to him your responsible for your own workers comp.in NC.So doubt he trying to get out of that but with your own authority you would be responsible for your own liability insurance with leased trucks he is required to carry that on all leased trucks to him but he can also turn around and charge you for that.He sounds more like diner talk someone else might have told him that story and he's just repeating it.not really saving him much for you to run your own attorney he then would have to give you a bigger rate to cover your additional expenses.
