Maybe one could use his/her insurance as a leased on carrier? Would that suffice? There are loopholes everywhere. Just have to find them.
Husband and wife thinking about getting own authority!!!

JL of Indiana Thanks this.

Having one truck is hard to run on your own authority. However, with the right expense, this can also be lucrative. Make sure your credit is good and get a good corporation. One more thing. Make sure you find a good accountant. This will save you a lot in the wrong run. Good Luck

If you get your numbers just to age the registration, list yourself as a private carrier to avoid the insurance requirement. Then switch to common carrier when you start running.
Liquidforce Thanks this. -
Do you have good credit?
Do you have enough money for a down payment?
Do you have enough money to buy a trailer or put a down payment for one?
Do you have enough money for repairs (if buying used)?
There are a lot of other good questions but those 4 would be the most important.
Might prove to be a good read:

We struck a deal and then he backed out again. I found a similar truck to buy from someone else for the same price.
Given my history with the gentleman I decided to give him one more chance to sell. I called him on his BS and told him if we can't trade cashiers check for title TODAY I was giving the money to someone else. That afternoon he signed the title over to me. -
