Running under someone’s authority

QUOTE: You do need a EIN.
Who's name and company do you fill in on the paperwork to get your EIN when running under someone else's authority?

 

IRS

 

You use your company name and information for the EIN.

 

so do you need your own dot number if your leasing under some else ? im looking to lease onto my dad for a short period do i need to have my own dot number while i do this? i have an ein in my name.

 

Holy misinformation going on here. To lease a truck on, first you need a lease contract spelling out everything including your company is now in control of that equipment. Next you’ll need to add that truck to YOUR insurance policy for liability and cargo. Any other insurance is the responsibility of the truck owner. Truck signage will say your company and DOT number. Good luck you’re going to need it. I’d say it’s a very bad idea with your lack of knowledge

 

Hey, I'm in a bind. Stuck in Cali with a load trying to deliver. I can offer $400 up front and 10% of any load I get from now until Fri. My MC number will be active by Fri.

 

This is true. Equipment owner only needs bobtail, non truck coverage.
Now, there is nothing to stop you from back billing him for it. But needs spelled out in the lease. Depends on your agreement. Plenty companies do not back bill them.

If for any reason he manages to get his "own" trucking liability and something happens. There will be no coverage or right to deny coverage because of the equipment lease to your company.

Insurance policy follows MC. Except bobtail. When he is not under dispatch or direction of lease holder. His policy covers his tractor.

 

Hello I have a question if I have a owner Operator with his own authority truck and trailer and bobtail insurance and all the insurance needed can he still just get his plates through my authority?
