Load and insurance question

It depends on what you are hauling. I know in car hauling its very hard to get loads from dealerships or brokers if you are new because they think you are prone to damages. I had prior car hauling experience before i got my authority but i was still turned down on some loads. Some brokers dont care because they are so desperate to have the cars moved they just cross their fingers and hope for the best. There are car broker companies or dealerships that will not assign you a load until you have over 100 positive ratings. It just depends on how desperate they are.

 

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are a motor carrier, you run under your own insurance. You do not run under broker's insurance.

 

I think they're pretty well leasing onto a broker just sounds strange to me.

 

Just confusing never heard of someone running under a brokers insurance before, usually you get your own insurance and then get loads from brokers/shippers. I'm assuming you're using the brokers dot numbers too?

 

Ok now it makes sense to my simple mind. I'm guessing you're not going to be able to get your own insurance and still use his nuke and numbers it's what I've been told anyway.

 

Some of them don't like new owners but you just have to work around it, and then don't work with them after you've been in business awhile either.
