    Im currently leased under a friends company, put his signs and dot on my truck thats registered under my company (titles & plates)
    How could i get inspections on my company while leased under his authority using his insurance. Is there a way so I could reduce my safety. Got only 1 inspection and driver was put out of service. 1 inspection and was bad. Put me at 100 % bad safety, making it super expensive to get insured. My authority has been open for less than 2 years. Previous insurance expired and couldnt get more inspections before it did, toget that safety lowered.

    Any ideas. Thanks

    You can't. They go by the DOT number. Just wait it out is all you can do. 2 years after the bad inspections your score should be much lower.

    So if I wanted to run both company names on the side of my truck who gets the door? I was always told whoever owns the truck gets the door but I can't find it anywhere confirming or denying thanks

    Doesn't matter. Just have to have the words "operated by" above the name that has the DOT number.
