Can an O/O with their own authority purchase insurance through another carrier?

Exactly.

I run into same scenario a few months back. Was confusing as hell...

 

You have to get your own insurance. You will be paying twice.

 

No he said he does not have his own authority he is trying to get his own authority

 

Yeah read the rest of the thread and changed my post.

 

Also known as "Confusion Phase"

 

No he will not be paying twice, you either get your own authority with your own insurance, or you get your DOT number and lease on to another carrier and run their insurance.[/QUOTE]

 

The OOIDA said I need primary liability insurance to activate my authority, $750k worth. I pay a weekly fee for that now for my leased truck, but it's in the carriers name. I was just wondering if there was anyway I could use that to activate my authority.

 

Again: short answer: No

 

Th he way I read t things by the time i got to his post you see my response he quoted. I was reading t hat he already was running und er his own authority. Should have kept reading.

 

No you can’t
