Need Info on Trip Leasing

under section 376.11, trip leasing is legal, and used by many while processing their own authority paper work. Tea time.

 

oh so you can lease to multiple carriers...

 

I've read the whole thread but couldn't find exact answer if a single trip lease (leasing a truck of another carrier (running under another USDOT number and insurance) to pull a load under my USDOT number) is possible and how.

If anyone has any updates, please let me know.

Safe travels everyone!

 

I suggest you go ask in the owner operators section. Create a new thread and ask this question. This one is ages old and forgotten.

 

You mean Joe Schmoe’s DOT number needs to be covered up. Because you are running under XYZ’s authority.

 

Trip leasing is basically a thing of the past, your bills have to match the numbers on your door, as does your insurance, the company has to have a driver qualification file on you, including a prehire drug test completed before you can untrack. It is nothing like it used to be. I have put another name on my door for the forseeable future, last week, but all these things have to be accounted for, even for a 50 mile load to be legal.

At one time I lived close to the New Mexico port of entry, Pretty regularly companies would fax me paperwork showing I was a temp driver for them to drive one of their trucks to the state line, but the laws changed, and the dot stopped allowing it, because of the prehire driver qualifications that I could not have.
