Input on this Potential O/O Deal

Being positive and sober are probably two of the most difficult things in life. You have accomplished both. Congratulations to you. I am only 4 years sober and strive very hard to be positive everyday. It is a difficult challenge but so far very worth the extra effort.

 

in a situation where a driver has leased his truck to a Co. and runs under their auth. and tags. / permits.

say he quits and returns their tag&stickers&other..

how would a driver get his tractor around, w/ no tag (legally)

or does one set up w/ the next Co. before he returns these item's?

is their a grace period granted to a driver. while traversing between destination's. I.E. no tag

 

I drove mine for 360 miles without the plates when I went to Landstar. Never even thought about it.

Hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have.

 

I would imagine you would need a trip permit to safely/legaly cover yourself for this. I pulled out my book from Reciprocity and went to MO's web site and could not find exactely what I wanted ( too tired to concentrate I thinl lol) but would check w/your home state Motor Carrier Services the next time if you must travel between leases. and that is correct there is NO grace when it comes to IRP

 

If I remember correctly, when we bought our trucks in MN, all we needed was a copy of the title. As long as there are no signs/numbers on the truck and you are not under a load, you are not technically under FMCSA regs (except for a CDL of course). It's been a few years ago, but I think I called one or two states to verify. And we brought three trucks home with trailers.

 

I just started reading this thread and was hoping for a happy ending. Sorry it didn't work out for ya Brickman, but you tried and remember:

Good luck in the future!
