Need clarification

Now,

I am messing lately with the idea to get my own DOT, MC and cargo. I would still be contracted with current company but they would only do dispatch and billing. Now my question is, if they technically sell me loads for commission and I run with my signs are safety and DOT only my concerns? They said if anything happens to the load it is still their responsibility? Does that mean cargo claims are still on them or what? I need somebody to clarify that for me.

Thanks

Yes, my current company is a carrier. I would get my own authority in order to grow it slowly and handle the DOT and inspections myself. Cargo claims and stuff are not biggy since I pull a dry van almost dedicated stuff. So, it is still possible to do it that way?

 

Appreciate your help guys. That is exactly what I wanted. OOIDA has a lot of valuable info on how to become an O/O. I have no worries about OOS. I try to keep my truck in good shape Anybody else has some advice?
