Ok, now im confused. I just called the FMCSA and the guy I talked to said I dont even need an MC number if im not going over 10,000, even crossing state lines. Does that sound right? I was under the impression you needed some type of authority if hauling anything for pay.
getting my own authority/mc number question

You don't even need a driver's license. Who cares what DOT told you on the phone? Move some stolen goods and drugs in your wagon to make the REAL money Driver! Keep listening to some random non-law enforcers on an internet forum. WE know more about the law than THEY do, Driver!

I guess I'm crazy for thinking people who are involved in the transportation industry and have done the exact thing I'm talking about may know a thing or two. It is possible that a desk jockey gave me bad information. #### you.

Nice!
Is that aimed at truck drivers or just a general insult?
You have come onto a forum that predominantly caters to guys with a GVW of 80,000 lbs. We have enough just dealing with that. Your questions are very specialized. I would suggest approaching the DMV in whichever state you hail from. It might be a lot more productive. Good luck, I think you have a good idea there.JimmyWells Thanks this. -
No, it was aimed at JimmyWells. If he didn't want to answer my question he could have just ignored it, but instead he wanted to be a smart ###.

I don't think you're crazy. In fact, I think you're foolish for relying on a source other than the GOVERNING BODY that has the ultimate say and SPECIALIZES in your business needs. However, carry on with your illfated plan my friend. I wonder if you would seek a forum for legal representation to handle a murder trial if you were the defendant in said trial. That question was rhetorical BTW as I already know the answer.

Never said I was RELYING on a forum. Just looking for confirmation, because there's no way in hell someone working the phones could give bad information is there? As far as my plan being ill fated, I'm already making a living running for my local company. No a great living, mind you, but I'm getting by. Just looking to make some extra money. If it doesn't work, so be it. I won't be out anything. So I say again, good sir, #### you.

LOL you're an idiot.

I think I must be missing some posts.

Ok I figured it. yes I get where you are coming from. I have that JimmyWells pos on ignore so I don't see his posts. I suggest you do the same thing because he is basically useless. He is here to insult and cause problems. Put him on ignore. Sorry I doubted you.
