I started running under my current carrier’s authority last month. I’m already considering leaving. If I do, what happens to the baseplate I have paid $1500 for? More to the point, what happens to my $1500?
Baseplate transferable to different authority?

Who bought the plate? I did not say who paid for it!!
Who bought the plate?
Sounds like you will lose your $1500 and will have to buy another. But I'm not positive cause I've never let someone buy mine.
Advice --- Always buy your own everything when possible so nobody has you under thumb and trapped.ChicagoJohn, Rideandrepair, stillwurkin and 2 others Thank this. -
IF you are going to BUY a big truck, run that big truck, work it like you own it. You really need to seriously OWN that thing. Between yourself and the bank.stillwurkin, csmith1281 and adayrider Thank this. -
I agree, so many get in and think they can cut corners and then they are trapped cause they can't afford to do it again. Or it straps them to fix it and then something else happens.
It goes both ways, if you can pick up and walk then the company will think twice also before they do-- ???
And if your dependent on them for plate money or ifta or whatever they feel they have upper hand.stillwurkin, csmith1281 and x1Heavy Thank this. -

I guess I’ll suck it up for a year, save up cash, then get my own authority.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
You mean to tell me collectively that I can have a hundred dollars in my pocket hid from the wife, go to a dealer and bank buy me a big large car and then pretend to be a owner operator while the lease company buys me tags and everything else?
OMFG Ive been wasting away in this armchair for nothing for daring to understand that I want to be my own trucking company with 1000 trucks some day and plenty of people hire on to do a good job with them.
//sarcasm.
Seriously. You own the truck, step up stand tall and make it happen. Mr Trucker.
Or are you going to be like mommys boy, have mammy buy you school clothes like a dweeb and all of your schools tuff plus a flower for your girlfiend and a nice sweater for your teacher. Which you know not to give or get bullied all year.
What's da matter with some of you spineless truck owners. Own it. Get going yer late. Or find something else to do and sign those trucks over to real truckers who will run the hell out of them.adayrider Thanks this. -
I would ask them, seeing that you paid $1500 for it.
x1Heavy and csmith1281 Thank this. -
