    I'm going to park it for a few months. I'm going to reduce my insurance . This will deactivate my authority correct ? When I reactivate it will I be a new entrant?

    I doubt you'll be seen as newbie to fmcsa but I can tell you insurance companies will see dollar signs when try to get coverage.

    Authority will go to sleep, when you reinstate insurance you’ll get it back!

    Drop cargo and collision.... you can keep just liability that will keep your authority active....

    What little money you save by dropping everything you’ll probably pay back twice as much as a new entrant.......

    Drop everything but 750k liability, go down to a 50 mile radius and go big on your deductible and see where you’re at on price

    Dropping everything but the liability seems like the consensus so that's what I'll do thanks
