Carrying Freight on Motorcoach?

If you are using your motor coach for hire you would fall under the same guidelines as any other for hire company. You would need DOT numbers, insurance, logbook or ELD requirements anything else that goes along with being an owner operator.

 

Greyhound has been doing packages for a while I think.?

 

Ever since I was a youngin and I'm not a kid any more!

 

He needs all that for his “human” cargo bub.

Op, yes you can haul freight. You would charge whatever the market allows, and collect either by billing on account or C.O.D. Whatever is your preference.

Blood & flowers both need to be refrigerated, i’m doubtful your cargo hold is refrigerated. I would search for a package courier service near you that you could get hooked up with.

 

The flowers I have picked up at bus gas station stop at Atl,Ga. were packed in foam boxes with frezz. packs in them for the 10Hr. drive from fla. they were some type that i dont have money to buy for my girl friend but driver passed them out to me before other bags for pass. on buss and I was to give a C-note to driver that i waited till all my boxes were opened an ck to be sure they matched the pic on my phone that boss lady sent before i went to the p/u gas station ?

 

Don't you have to declare on your authority app what you are going to haul?

 

I can't imagine a guy staying busy , and a motor home seems like the most inefficient way possible to deliver freight of any kind. lol
The way insurance companies have gotten, I bet it would be fun to get all the insurance a guy needed for this too.

 

Ask your friend who is he going through to get loads

 

In a motor home?

Wouldn't that make it a freight carrier that needs insurance against loss of packages?

Greyhound hauls many freight packages under the passengers in the side bay for decades, Blood comes to mind.
