    You can’t register a truck under two separate entities. The cab card will have to have 1 or the other listed. Whichever is listed is whose name, numbers, and zip code best be on the side of truck next to the words leased too.

    Owning the plates when leased to a carrier doesn’t change the fact that the carrier you’re leased to is who the truck is registered too. In a very tiny hard to find place it will say owned by…… unlike a regular vehicle the cab card info can be changed as far as who the truck is registered too without changing the info on title.

    I’m seeing why you need to lease to a carrier.You really aren’t making any sense.If you want to pull broker freight on occasion why not just pull broker freight why lease to carrier there are plenty of carriers that broker freight

    Because I have customers I want to pull for and I don’t want to get carrier involved with these customers. The carrier has freight I can’t get unless leased on with them.

    I guess it just doesn’t make sense to me. I mean the customers you have can’t be to lucrative if you’re going to lease to a carrier instead of running broker freight to fill in. I have meet a few guys that leased to a carrier and brought a customer with them to run while leased to carrier because they didn’t want to run anymore on there authority and pay the insurance but to pay full time insurance to keep your authority part time just doesn’t make sense to me but to each his own.good luck
