Question on DoT Authorities!

Hey, everyone. Quick question regarding authorities. I recently got offered a position a local car hauling fleet and I've got everything squared away with the exception of establishing an authority. In order to drive as a sub-contractor with this particular company you need to have an established authority that is at least 1 year old. In an attempt to avoid waiting an entire year to get on the road, is it possible to purchase an authority from somebody else? Somebody with an authority that is at least 1 year old? Possibly someone retiring their company that no longer needs theirs? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
